Description du livre Soft cover. Etat : Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very good clean copy. Following a brief historical introduction, the story begins at the coast with an account of the seaweed forests of the sublittoral and the lichens of exposed rocky shores. It moves to a discussion of the problems posed by salt water to most land plants, and the communities of rocky coasts, beaches and sands dunes, and saline wetlands. Human interference has grossly modified coastal New Zealand, and the authors address the question as to whether offshore islands such as the Three Kings preserve examples of 'original vegetation'; they conclude that they are a mixed bag. As a diversion, they describe some of the spectacular endemics found on the northern islands. They then move to the gaps in the forest (and nowadays pasture), i.e. the open places between coast and mountain, from various wetlands and river-bed to short tussock grasslands and serpentine vegetation, concluding with an account of the Chatham Islands. Progressing upwards, they describe the transition between forest and shrubland in the mountains, before emerging onto the tussock herbfields. Here some emphasis is placed on the tussock grasses themselves and the spaniards or speargrasses, before moving to a discussion of some of the many white-flowered alpine plants. The next chapters deal in turn with fellfield with its distinctive vegetable sheep, cushion moorland of the flat-topped Otago mountains, plants of snow banks and cushion bogs, and finally those remarkable plants of shingle scree slopes. Scree species pose a number of intriguing evolutionary questions; one posed by the authors is why they are so well camouflaged as to be difficult to see among the stones. From high altitude, the text moves to high latitude with a discussion of the subantarctic islands, including their spectacular megaherbs, and a discussion of the human impact on the subantarctic. To complete the text a brief account of the evolutionary origins of the alpine flora is provided, along with a list of useful references, a glossary of common names, and an index. This book was winner of the Natural Heritage Section of the 1997 Montana New Zealand Book Awards. N° de réf. du vendeur 034045
