About this book

Language: French

Plants are not distributed at random in nature, they form plant communities, depending on their affinities for the nature of the soil, the degree of humidity, exposure to light, etc. The Bailleul National Botanical Conservatory has always been known for its involvement in the study and characterization of this vegetation. While there are multiple catalogues of vegetation, more or less descriptive, the contributors to this book deplore the absence of guides resolutely oriented towards the determination and identification of vegetation in the field. This book, therefore, fills an important gap by providing identification keys and reliable criteria that allow the recognition of plant groups.

Each of the 540 associations in the north of France is then treated in the form of a monograph: complete morphological description, elements of ecology, chorology, a departmental map and a summary table which includes all the indices related to soil (humidity, pH, organic matter, grain size) and environmental characteristics (nutrients, light, salinity). This book will allow botanists and ecologists to familiarize themselves with phytosociology and thus contribute to the knowledge and conservation of natural environments in northern France.

Summary in French:
Les plantes ne se répartissent pas au hasard dans la nature, elles forment ce que l’on appelle des « communautés végétales », en fonction de leurs affinités pour la nature du sol, le degré d’hygrométrie, l’exposition à la lumière, etc. Le conservatoire botanique national de Bailleul est connu depuis toujours par son implication dans l’étude et la caractérisation de ces végétations. S’il existe de multiples catalogues de végétation, plus ou moins descriptifs, on déplore l’absence de guides orientés résolument vers la détermination et permettant une identification sur le terrain des végétations. Cet ouvrage vient donc combler une lacune importante en fournissant des clés d’identification et des critères fiables qui permettent de reconnaître les groupements végétaux.

Chacune des 540 associations du nord de la France est ensuite traitée sous forme de monographie : description morphologique complète, éléments d’écologie, de chorologie, une carte départementale et un tableau de synthèse qui reprend tous les indices liés aux caractéristiques pédologiques (humidité, pH, matière organique, granulométrie) et stationnelles (nutriments, lumière, salinité). Cet ouvrage permettra à de nombreux botanistes et écologues de se familiariser avec la phytosociologie et ainsi de contribuer à la connaissance et la conservation des milieux naturels du nord de la France.
