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.

It uses original field sampling and advanced numerical data analysis to examine three major types of forest - Albany Coastal Forests, Pondoland Coastal Scarp and Eastern Scarp - all of which are of high conservation value.

This volume gathers case studies on plant diversity from selected, representative mountain systems of Italy (Mediterranean and Temperate zones), while also addressing the biodiversity of avian fauna.

This book presents studies on current vegetation topics, from polar to tropical regions. Section 3 has nine chapters focusing on vegetation history, regional vegetation, and how these have influenced current species organizations and distributions.

This book offers a comprehensive overview of the phytosociological information currently available in Morocco - a country famous for its floristic and landscape diversity.
