Mosses and liverworts of Dorset
Dorset Environmental Records Centre, 2003. Soft cover. V.g. / No Jacket . Signed by the senior author (inscribed 'to Monica'), and with tiny stains at top and bottom of spine, not affecting text, otherwise nearly new. Unparalleled in its detail, this first atlas of moss and liverwort distribution in a small southern English county testifies to an intensive effort by a large team of recorders. Although the county of Dorset is geologically diverse the patterns of distribution only rarely reflect this, the exceptions mostly being indicators of heathland (of which large tracts exist in the New Forest). The mapping scale is at tetrad level (2 x 2 km), though early work was done at 10 x 10 km level and so the coverage of common species is somewhat uneven. (3), 176 pp. more information
