Alpenpflanzen in ihren Lebensräumen

The hike follows the stream, through a mixed mountain forest, across an alpine meadow, and up into the rocks. Along the way, we traverse various botanical habitats where some plants thrive while the same environments are completely unsuitable for other species. "Alpine Plants in Their Habitats" offers an unusual entry into the world of plants - we learn to read the landscape, become familiar with the botanical habitats, and gain a new identification key for the individual species. After an introduction to the geology and vegetation of the Alpine region, the author presents 18 important habitats featuring more than 480 alpine plants. This book is a unique school of observation and an indispensable companion for all beginners exploring the world of botany in the central Alpine regions.
