This book discusses European dwarf shrub heaths on oligotrophic–acid soils in all their floristic diversity. It addresses questions of how to characterise the European habitats in a global context, addresses the diversity and variations of European dwarf shrub heaths, and identifies heath-regions and centres of heath-biodiverstiy. Above all it is a catalogue of the 68 heath-regions that were identified, beautifully and richly illustrated with colour photographs of plants and landscapes.
