Alpine Tasmania - flora and vegetation of the high country, with photographs by Peter Dombrovskis | Jamie Kirkpatrick | 1997 [USED – SC]

An illustrated guide to Tasmania's alpine flora and vegetation, by botanist Jamie Kirkpatrick, with colour photographs by Peter Dombrovskis — the wilderness photographer whose 1979 image "Morning Mist, Rock Island Bend," taken on the Franklin River, became one of the most influential photographs in Australian political history, credited with helping galvanise the successful campaign against the Franklin Dam.

The book covers the alpine environment (climate, geology and soils, and the distribution of alpine vegetation across Tasmania), the flora (biogeography, ferns, dwarf pines, tall shrubs, cushion plants, rosette herbs, mat herbs, erect herbs, grasses and graminoids), the state's alpine plant communities (bolster heath, coniferous heath, deciduous heath, fjaeldmark, bog, alpine sedgeland, fen, alpine tussock grassland and short alpine herbfield), and a section on conservation.
