Description
Following the publication of Part One of this work, “Coast Plants”, a self-appointed committee consisting of Rolf Nordhagen, Johannes Lid, Knut Faegri, Per Stormer and Olav Gjaerevoll decided that mapping of Norwegian vascular plants should continue, priority given to alpine plants and species belonging to the southern and southeastern floral elements. The work includes discussion of the concept of alpine plants, the distribution of the Scandinavian alpine plants, the history of the alpine flora, the ecology of alpine plants, and the species.
