Natural grasslands, pastures and meadows are among the vegetation
types most frequently investigated with phytosociological methods.
This was one of the reasons why volume 13, Application of
vegetation science to grassland husbandry and agriculture, edited
by W. Krause, appeared as one of the first volumes of this
handbook. It appeared under the chief editorship of Prof. R. Tiixen
and in his time main emphasis of the handbook was placed on
Ziirich-Montpellier methods and the European vegetation. When we
redesigned the handbook we felt the need to include other methods
and aims of grassland analyses as well as a more global coverage of
grasslands. Especially the natural dry and semidry areas of the
world needed to be covered. was very fortunate in getting Prof.
Tueller of the University of Reno I Nevada as an editor for this
volume. He and the colleagues he motivated to compile volume 14 on
Application of vegetation science to rangeland analysis and
management have created a truly global coverage of the topics
interesting for vegetation analyses in natural grasslands. Since
volume 13 covered the problems of anthropogenically created
grasslands, this topic was not expressly treated in order to avoid
duplication. For the same reason no specific attempt was made to
get more papers from Europe and the temperate forest region in
general. The cooperation with Dr. Tueller has been very rewarding
for me.
