(2), X, 467 pp. Second German 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?.

XII, 412 pp. First German translation of the founding work on Plant ecology and Plant communities. "Warming was the founder of plant ecology. The term "ecology", first used by Haeckel in 1866, was introduced into botany by H. reiter in 1885M but is was Warming who made ecology a preferred field of activity for many botanists. In "Plantesamfund" (1895) - (the work offered) - he formulated the program of his research: "To answer the question: Why each species has its own habit and habitat, why the species congregate to form definitive communities, and why these have a characteristic physiognomy.". The book created an enormous senstaion as a new attempt at grouping and characterizing the plant communities - a new phytogeographical term by which Warming meant a group of species forming a physiognomically well-defined unity, such as a meadow. In all essentials the species of a community are subject to the same external conditions arising from the ecological factors. These factors are of a fundamental importence to the ecology ofthe individual plant and the plant community. Considering water to be the most importent factor, Warming divided plant communities into four types: hydrophytic, xerophytic, halophytic, and mesophytic."(DSB XIV, p. 181). ?It was Warming, in an 1895 Danish botanical textbook called Plantesamfund (Plant Communities), who defined the nature of the discipline. He pointed out that organisms, plant and animal, live in highly developed communities, the tenure of which depends on such things as temperature, rainfall, soil constitution, elevation, and countless other factors. He noted that communities change over time, moving toward what he called "climax" communities, which will remain dominant until conditions change. But he also advised that conditions will change, through wildfire, or floods, or man-made alterations, and that such changes are often irreversible, so that a forest turned into grassland will seldom revert to a forest community again.?

A nice and clean copy. (12), 362, (24) pp. First Portugese translation ? with the translator?s presentation inscription - of Warming?s pioneering ecological study based on Warming?s fieldwork in Brazil during the 1860s. It represents one of the first systematic attempts to understand vegetation not merely through taxonomy but in relation to environment, function and adaptation. Translator Ferri (1918 ? 1985) pioneered field work in Plant Ecology in Brazil. His PhD thesis was one of the first scientific works of an experimental nature in the study of ecology of the vegetation of the cerrados. Warming spent several years (1863?1866) in the region of Lagoa Santa in the state of Minas Gerais, assisting the paleontologist Peter Wilhelm Lund, considered the father of the paleontology of Brazil.During this time, he undertook detailed observations of the local flora, particularly the cerrado vegetation?Brazil?s savanna biome. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Warming did not limit himself to cataloguing species. Instead, he explored how plants interacted with their environment: how they survived drought, coped with fire, and responded to poor soils. His focus on the functional aspects of vegetation-structure, life-form, and adaptation was deeply innovative and helped lay the groundwork for what would later become the discipline of ecology.

He planned to one day compile these studies into a complete natural history of native flowering plants, but never accomplished it. (See Kolderup-Rosenvinge, Eug. Warming).

(København, 1884). 8vo. In a recent half cloth binding. Nice and clean. 105 pp. Rare first edition of Warming's first attempt in life-form classification. The work is considered foundational for later developments in plant ecological morphology and life-form classification, and it laid important groundwork for Warming?s more famous 1895 textbook "Plantesamfund" which helped establish ecology as a scientific discipline. The classification was based on his meticulous observations while raising wild plants from seed in the Copenhagen Botanical Garden. Fourteen informal groups were recognized, based on longevity of the plant, power of vegetative propagation, duration of tillers, hypogeous or epigeous type of shoots, mode of wintering and degree and mode of branching of rhizomes.
