The first comprehensive single book on plant communities in the British uplands, this guide provides concise descriptions of all currently recognised British upland vegetation types, with accurate botanical detail and also an indication of what the vegetation looks like, where it occurs, and how it can be distinguished from related types. Using the NVC as a framework, this book brings together upland NVC types in a single volume. Illustrated with line drawings, diagrams, some colour photographs and distribution maps.
