The Fenland Flora

Description:

2-volume set. The Fenland basin was the largest lowland wetland in Britain, straddling six historic counties. It now has a reputation for uniformity, but this book disproves that assumption, showing how an impressive range of plants survive against the odds, and how the region is a key biodiversity stronghold for some groups. This book provides not only a unique account of the current status of wild plants in Fenland but also how their ranges have changed over the centuries and analyses the factors behind these changes.
