Product Description
In 1950 Eric Hulten published Atlas
oever vaexternas utbredning i Norden (Atlas of the Distribution of
Vascular Plants in NW. Europe). A revised edition was issued in 1971,
comprising in all 1930 distribution maps. This atlas was followed by a
wide-ranging project aiming at a presentation of the total distribution
of the North European vascular plants. According to this plan Hulten
began with The Amphi-Atlantic Plants, published in 1958 (reprinted in
1973) in Kungl. Svenska Vetenskapsakademiens handlingar, 4th ser.,
vol. 7, no. 1. This work contains 278 distribution maps. The next issue
in this project was The Circumpolar Plants, part I in 1962 (reprinted in 1964) and part II in 1971. They contain together 529 maps. However, the
extensive project mentioned above was further developed. A considerable
amount of distributional data were compiled and recorded on maps, in all
1936 in number. In these the above-mentioned amphi-atlantic and
circumpolar plant maps were included. They have later been revised and
completed by the editor. The selection of the mapped taxa was made by
Hulten. Many of the 1936 maps presented in this work show the
distribution of one or more taxa besides the taxon for which the map is
elaborated. Altogether about 4475 plant taxa are treated, either on the
maps or in the text of the present work. All maps are elaborated in the
traditional manner with exact indication of the occurrences when
possible (by dots or equal signs). Limiting lines and hatching have been
used in cases where only general information has been obtained or
considered to be sufficient. Thus the mapping is not adapted to a grid
system with squares, often used in modern works, especially in fairly in fairly well explored areas... (www.koeltz.com/product.aspx?pid=122774)
