By 1988 the Handbook of Vegetation Science is well on its way to
completion. With 7 volumes in circulation, 3 volumes in the press,
and most of the remaining volumes in preparation it appears that
the total task can be completed in the early 'nineties. I am
especially thankful to Professor Symoens for accepting the task of
editing the volume on aquatic vegetation. The main emphasis of work
in phytosociology is devoted to land plants, yet the landscape
analysis remains incomplete without the consideration of rivers and
lakes. Avolume on inland aquatic vegetation must therefore be most
helpful to the land vegetation analyst and not only to the
specialist on aquatic vegetation. Professor Symoens succeeded in
drafting the most competent team for his task. I am sure that all
colleagues working in vegetation analysis will be grateful to them
that they have taken the time and energy to complete their
chapters. Handbook articles are not easy to write and certainly not
easy to edit. in the landscape are treated. The The major aquatic
components vegetation analysts will welcome the fact that certain
physiological and ecological processes of water plants are covered
for which otherwise they would have to consult the limnological
literature. This volume, together with the forthcoming volume on
wetlands, should completely cover the inland aquatic vegetation
problematic.
