Aquatic Plants in Britain and Ireland: A Joint Project of the Environment Agency, Institute of Terrestrial Ecology and the Joint Nature Conservation Committe - Softcover

This is an essential work for all people concerned with ecology and management of freshwater. - C.D.K. Cook, Watsonia

Over the past 50 years, major changes have taken place in the distribution of aquatic plants in Europe. Many species have declined whilst other species have increased in abundance or spread, including several that were originally introduced from the New World. Despite the relative richness of the aquatic flora of Britain and Ireland, it is a neglected area of study. This book provides a summary of the distribution, habitat and reproductive biology of 200 taxa in 72 genera, with individual distribution maps, and also summarizes their distribution overseas.
