It offers the first comparative analysis of hundreds of plants - annuals, perennial herbs and dwarf shrubs - in an area of 87,000 km2 at altitudes from 2600 to 6150 m above sea level in the Western Himalaya. Characteristic landscape pictures of all major vegetation types and maps show at which locations and altitudes the individual species of vascular plants are distributed, while macroscopic plant pictures and plant age are related to high-quality micro-sections and micro-photographs. The anatomical features of 345 dicotyledons were characterized using the published coding systems and those of 155 monocotyledones were characterized on the basis of a newly developed key. The number of annual rings and anatomical features of the xylem and phloem of dicots are compared and related to different ecological conditions within this extremely dry and cold environment. The ecological and anatomical characterization is used to create a phylogenetic tree based on nucleotide sequences, and indicates which features are genetically stable and which ones are modified by environmental factors. The book appeals to scientists in the fields of plant taxonomy, morphology, anatomy and ecology. . 606 $aPlants$xEvolution 606 $aPlants$xDevelopment 606 $aPlant ecology 606 $aBiotic communities 606 $aPlant Evolution 606 $aPlant Development 606 $aPlant Ecology 606 $aEcosystems 615 0$aPlants$xEvolution. 615 0$aPlants$xDevelopment. 615 0$aPlant ecology. 615 0$aBiotic communities. 615 14$aPlant Evolution. 615 24$aPlant Development. 615 24$aPlant Ecology. 615 24$aEcosystems. 676 $a578.012 676 $a578.09 700 $aDole?al$b Ji?í$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01058051 702 $aDvorskı$b Miroslav$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aBörner$b Annett$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aWild$b Jan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aSchweingruber$b Fritz Hans$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298398203321 996 $aAnatomy, Age and Ecology of High Mountain Plants in Ladakh, the Western Himalaya$92496871 997 $aUNINA
