This comprehensive book covers all aspects of the vegetation, phytogeography and conservation of the vast and varied region of the Arabian Peninsula. It synthesises the information available on all aspects of the flora and vegetation (including lower plants), from the mountains, sand seas, coasts, water bodies and desert plains, and includes plants of economic importance. The book contains chapters on the vegetation, ecology and phytogeography of the mountains, wadis, sand deserts, gravel plains, coasts and sabkhas. Chapters on climate and geology provide the background information for understanding the dynamics of the vegetation. A chapter on the diversity of plants gives details of the region's species richness and endemism, current threats to plant diversity, and the measures taken in the form of protected areas and legislation in each country of the Peninsula. The study should be a useful resource for students, scholars and professionals interested in Southwest Asian botany.
