English translation makes this unique book, now in its fourth
edition, available to a wider audience. This book is without doubt
the most important work ever published about the vegetation of
central Europe and its ecology. No other book contains so much
ecological information and discusses so many principles relevant
not only to plant ecologists in continental Europe, but to
ecologists and palaeoecologists in the British Isles and North
America. Besides providing valuable syntheses of the major plant
communities, Ellenberg details the ecology and environmental
requirements of all the vegetation types and discusses the climatic
tolerances and ecological physiology of many of the major species.
The account is based upon a life time of thorough field work and
experimental investigation. One of the major messages to be gleaned
from the book concerns the long-lasting and considerable effects of
human activity upon the vegetation, and the book therefore has much
to teach about the impact of agriculture and industrial pollution
and highlights the need to plan carefully for the conservation of
our rich natural and semi-natural environment.
