Book description

British Plant Communities is the first systematic and comprehensive account of the vegetation types of this country. It covers all natural, semi-natural and major artificial habitats in Great Britain (but not Northern Ireland), representing the fruits of fifteen years of research by leading plant ecologists. The book breaks new ground in wedding the rigorous interest in the classification of plant communities that has characterized Continental phytosociology with the deep concern traditional in Great Britain to understand how vegetation works. The published volumes have been greeted with universal acclaim, and the series has become firmly established as a framework for a wide variety of teaching, research and management activities in ecology, conservation and land-use planning.

Reviews

‘This series represents an outstanding achievement of descriptive plant ecology.’

M. J. Crawley Source: Trends in Ecology and Evolution

‘ … an excellent series of reference volumes.’

‘What more can be said … indispensable.’

‘… the completion of the NVC has been well worth waiting for, and this is a significant culmination of a nationally important project. It has provided a common language and standard for ecologists which it is now impossible to do without. Every plant ecologist should have the set on his or her shelves.’

Tim Rich Source: British Wildlife

‘The British Plant Communities series, an essential addition to an ecologist’s or plant conservationist’s library, ought to set trends and standards worldwide for the study and management of vegetation … The vegetation team and their many collaborators are to be congratulated on realizing such a useful, readable publication.’

‘The publication of this fifth and final volume … completes one of the most notable achievements in British ecology: the first comprehensive phytosociological classification of British vegetation.’

P. Lusby Source: Edinburgh Journal of Botany

’ … there is much in this book that will be of interest both to those who embrace and those who do not embrace the phytosociological approach towards vegetation.’
