Plant Life of the Dolomites Vegetation Structure and Ecology

From the book reviews:

“This book aims to be more than simply a phytosociological description of the vegetation of the Dolomites. … Each habitat chapter begins with a general introduction, including highly detailed descriptions with excellent illustrations, of the ecological and environmental conditions associated with that habitat. … Each vegetation description, and indeed each chapter, is illustrated with excellent photographs and distribution maps, and overall the book is a beautiful object … . it is simply a lovely book.” (Rob Brooker, Mountain Research and Development (MRD), Vol. 35 (1), February, 2015)

“The book represents an extraordinary wealth of
information. The layout with numerous beautiful colour photographs, instructive
tables, maps, diagrams and flow charts … is not only nice but also makes the
information easily accessible and comparable. … The book is the first
comprehensive modern vegetation overview of a larger region, both within Italy
and for the Alps in general, and hopefully will inspire others to follow this
pioneer work.” (Jürgen Dengler, Bulletin of the European Dry Grassland Group,
Issue 24-25, November, 2014)
