British Plant Communities is the first systematic and comprehensive
account of natural vegetation types of Great Britain. It covers all
natural, semi-natural and major artificial habitats in Great
Britain (excluding Northern Ireland), representing the fruits of
fifteen years research by leading plant ecologists. Over 250 plant
communities are described in the five volumes, with summaries of
their vascular plants, bryophytes and lichens. There are full
details in the text of the composition and structure of the
vegetation, its relationships to habitat factors and its occurence
in characteristic spatial patterns and successions. Numerous maps
show the distribution of the communities through Britain and all
the vegetation types are related to their closest equivalents in
mainland Europe. For each major group of communities an
introduction outlines the range of floristic variation and relates
it to important environmental influences. A key provides the reader
with a means of identifying vegetation types encountered in the
field. There are indices to the communities and to their existing
synonyms, and to all the plant species encountered in the survey.
An extensive bibliography gives full details of the numerous
literature references cited. British Plant Communities breaks new
ground in wedding traditional Continental phytosociology with the
deep concern in Britain to understand how vegetation works. It is
intended as a working tool, offering a reliable framework for a
wide variety of teaching, research, and management activities in
ecology, conservation, and land use planning.
