Plant Diversity in the Central Great Caucasus: A Quantitative Assessment (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed.... Plant Diversity in the Central Great Caucasus: A Quantitative Assessment (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2017)
George Nakhutsrishvili, Otar Abdaladze, Ketevan Batsatsashvili, Eva Spehn, Christian Koerner
R3,738 Discovery Miles 37 380 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book presents the first assessment of the high-elevation flora of the Central Caucasus with a community ecology emphasis. Following a geostatistical-climatological description of the region (in comparison to the European Alps), it describes the montane, alpine and nival plant assemblages on the basis of an ecological approach that combines moisture, soils and local habitat peculiarities. Highlights include the famous giant herb communities in treeless parts of the upper montane belt, the various facets of alpine turf, and the unique assemblages and settings in the nival region. Further chapters address potential niche conservation between the Caucasus and the Alps, as well as a compilation of plant species habitat preferences (indicator values) that applies to a concept developed for the Alps. Richly illustrated and featuring extensive quantitative data on species abundance, the book offers a unique guide to the plant species diversity of this prominent mountain range, and a valuable resource for comparative ecology and biodiversity assessments of warm temperate mountain systems.

The Vegetation of Georgia (South Caucasus) (Paperback, 2013 ed.): George Nakhutsrishvili The Vegetation of Georgia (South Caucasus) (Paperback, 2013 ed.)
George Nakhutsrishvili
R3,682 Discovery Miles 36 820 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The book describes richness and diversity of Georgia's vegetation. Contrasting ecosystems coexist on the relatively small territory of the country and include semi-deserts in East Georgia, Colchic forests with almost sub-tropical climate in West Georgia and subnival plant communities in high mountains. West Georgia lacks xerophilous vegetation zone and mesophilous forest vegetation spreads from the sea level to subalpine zone. The Colchic refugium (West Georgia) ensured survival of the Tertiary's mesophilous forest flora. Vertical profile of the vegetation is more complex in East Georgia with semi-desert, steppe and arid open forest zone. In South Georgia the montane zone represented by montane steppe is devoid of forests
