Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. 1st ed. "'There are really two Britains - two different countries, their boundary a line that strikes diagonally across England from Yorkshire to Devon'. The moorlands belong to the 'region of mountains and old rocks', and the heathlands 'the newer, fertile land of the plains'. It is with the lowland heaths of Britain that Dr. Nigel Webb's book is concerned." This is a very readable book which discusses very fully the history and ecology of this essentially artificial environment which arose after cutting down the deciduous forest, and then overgrazing the land with livestock. Ironically, this man-made disaster area is now home to many valuable, rare species of plant and animal. With the similarly created uplands of Wales, Scotland and northern England, moor- and heathland is now generally regarded as the epitome of natural, untouched, wild countryside. Chapters include: 'A waste and barren land'; The basic requirements; A primeval landscape?; The influence of man; British lowland heaths; Heathland plant communities; The dynamics of heathland vegetation - patterns of change and succession; The heathers; Other heathland plants; Heathland invertebrates; Heathland vertebrates; What the future holds. Appendices give references for further reading and a list of heathland nature reserves. NO.…

Octavo, laminated boards,462 pp.,colour photographs, diagrams, maps. Looks at the diversity and use of heathlands over the whole Atlantic area of Europe, from Portugal and Spain in the south to Norway in the north and from Germany in the east to Ireland in the west. This volume does show us both the diversity in use all over Europe combining this with the newest insights in ecology and the Natura 2000 status most of these heathlands now have. One of the central themes is how to cover the costs of maintenance of these heathlands. Is their future in new types of commons, or do other types of land ownership using the revenues of heathland ecosystem services give better opportunities. The editors combine a broad variance in knowledge of heathlands varying from all aspects of ecology, land use, as well as economy.…

Condition: New. 464, col illus. 240x170mm. HB. NEW. . Heathlands in Europe reflect a long history of human activity and use. Through the ages heathlands have been of importance as (semi)agricultural areas, hunting territories and various other uses by mankind. This diversity of usage has created a cultural diversity over the whole Atlantic area of Europe, from Portugal and Spain in the south to Norway in the north and from Germany in the east to Ireland in the west. This book shows us both the diversity of use for heathlands throughout Europe and new insights into their ecology. The central theme of the book is how to fund the maintenance of these heathlands. Is their future as commonland, or do other types of land ownership, utilising the revenues generated by the heathland ecosystem, offer better opportunities? [9789050114615].…
