Reference : 62660
Second thoroughly revised edition of Warming’s highly popular and influential botanical work, intended for university students and teachers. Second only to Warming’s ""Plantesamfund"", the present volume is arguably among the most important contributions to botany published in the last quarter of the 19th century. It was reprinted numerous times and remained in use well into the 20th century. Johannes Eugenius Warming (1841–1924), commonly known as Eugen Warming, was a pioneering Danish botanist widely recognized as one of the founding figures of modern ecology. He authored the first textbook on plant ecology in 1895, introduced the first university course in the subject, and helped define the scope and content of ecological science. In 1975, ecologist R. J. Goodland asserted: “If one individual can be singled out to be honoured as the founder of ecology, Warming should gain precedence” (""The Tropical Origin of Ecology: Eugen Warming's Jubilee""). Warming wrote a number of textbooks on botany, plant geography and ecology, which were translated to several languages and were immensely influential at their time and later. Most important were “Plantesamfund and Haandbog i den systematiske Botanik”.
