Chráněné a ohrožené rostliny - Chráněná krajinná oblast Jeseníky – Bureš Leo (2013)

The book is intended for all lovers of beautiful and rare plants, as well as for all friends and admirers of mountain nature; it is written in such a way that the information contained within serves also professionals, botanists, and nature conservationists. Which plants in the Jeseníky region are protected, which are endangered, and which have already gone extinct? Which are the rarest and which are the most beautiful? Which of them do not grow anywhere else in the world? Where did they used to occur and where do they grow now? What do they look like and what does their environment look like? You will find the answers in this book, which provides detailed descriptions and several hundred photographs of not only all the rare and endangered plant species currently growing in the Jeseníky Protected Landscape Area, but also species that used to grow in this area but are no longer found here for various reasons or are missing. The book summarizes all existing information about the past and present distribution of the rarest plants in the Jeseníky Protected Landscape Area, their significance, degree of threat, and possibilities for conservation. The introductory chapters discuss the general aspects of the entire issue.
