Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the plant associations and habitats of the Tumamoc Hills and vicinity, an area that exhibits desert plant life in great diversity within a limited geographical area. The author's meticulous observations and research into this single desert location provide new perspectives on desert plant distribution and movements. The study pays special attention to issues of a more general interest, including the role of soil and water relations in plant distribution, the development of vegetation groups, and the origins of desert floras. Ultimately, the book argues that the region's flora and their present distribution can be largely explained through close observation of existing environmental factors, without invoking other causes to explain phenomena traceable to those now in operation.
