Due to their volcanic history and isolated position in the Atlantic Ocean the Canary Islands became home of an enormous diversity of plants and therefore earned the byname "the Galapagos of botany". El Hierro is the youngest, smallest and southwesternmost Canary Island. Its unique geological history, the remarkable mountain relief and the climatic contrasts create proper conditions for an extraordinarily diverse vegetation and hence offers ideal prerequisites for geobotanical investigations. After an exhaustive introduction with information on geology, soils, climate and the human influence, all vegetation types of the study area are presented. Beginning with the most natural forest communities, the study also reports on the substitute communities such as the various scrubs, pastures and finally the ruderal vegetation. A portrait of every single community is drawn, with information on the altitudinal and horizontal distribution, the habitat, successional stage, and anthropogenic influences. All these data may serve as a valuable base for conservation efforts. El Hierro indeed deserves its status as a Biosphere Reserve of the UNESCO, which it was awarded in 2000. Hopefully, this study will encourage conservationists to continue their endeavours to preserve the remains of natural vegetation and the endangered endemic plants of El Hierro

The Canary Islands are a major tourist holiday destination. Exploring the flora of these islands adds another dimension to such holidays. This book will aid the reader in the identification of the various plant life to be found on these islands.The Canary Islands are a member of the group of four archipelagos known as Macaronesia, in the north Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Europe and Africa. These are the Azores and Madeira (Portuguese), the Canary Islands (Spain) and The Azores (now independent). They all experience in essence a Mediterranean climate.At their nearest point they are 100 kilometres west of Morocco. In order of size, largest to smallest they are Tenerife, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, La Gomera, El Hierro and La Graciosa. They are all volcanic in origin with Lanzarote still showing obvious volcanic activity. El Hierro was the last to experience an eruption in 2011. Tenerife and Gran Canaria are the most populated. There are ferry links between most of these islands. As a popular tourist destination La Gomera is the quietest island for exploring by car and on foot. Lanzarote is the closest island to the mainland in the east and El Hierro the most westerly island. The oldest islands are those to the east. They are favourite destinations of tourists from the UK and Europe being available throughout the year with sun and warmth.The Caldera de Taburiente National Park in La Palma, Garajonay National Park in La Gomera and Teide National Park and the botanic garden in Puerto de la Cruz in Tenerife are all excellent for plant life. However, all the islands have a botanical interest. Many plant habitats exist. These are conveniently divided up for discussion into five Vegetation Zones, that occur at different heights above sea level.0-700 metres a dry Xerophytic zone of succulents and Halophytes (salt loving).200-600 metres Thermophile Forest zone with for example Junipers and Olives.400-1500 metres Laurisilva Evergreen Forest500-900 metres Pine Forests. Above 1900 metres a high mountain zone.Many exotic plant species found on the Canary Islands originated from many tropical and subtropical places in the world, carried by travelers many years ago. The Canary Islands were a stopping place for ships travelling between South America and Spain. Examples are: Australia, the Grevilleas (Grevillea robusta).Madagascar and Australia, the Fire Tree (Brachchiton acerifolium).South America, the Jacaranda (Jacarandia mimosifolia).Gabon, the Tulip Tree (Spathodea campanulata).The Bougainvillea (Bougainvillea spectabilis) originated in Brazil.Botanic explorations of the Canary Islands date from the 18th century when plant collectors from Kew in the UK first visited. One such collector was the Scottish botanist Francis Masson. Many other botanists since that time have explored the flora of the Canary Islands.The flora is most interesting and diverse and there are many endemic plants. The book is illustrated with colour photographs. On La Gomera in particular, but also on other islands to varying extents, Laurisilva Forest is found. At the end of the book is a section illustrating the trees that can be found in particular in this habitat.

The volcanic and oceanic nature of the Canary Islands, its rich plant biodiversity and high rate of endemism, as well as the relict character of some of its plant communities make it a territory of great biological interest. The main geographic, climatic, bioclimatic, biogeographic and floristic features of the Islands are shown and related to the distributional pattern of potential communities along an altitudinal gradient. Current vegetation units and their ecology are described and illustrated with numerous pictures. Potential vegetation units are summarized and comprehensive maps of the potential natural vegetation for each island are given. Human impact on the natural landscape, the occurrence of invasive plants, and the probable impact of climate change on the flora and vegetation are discussed. The conservation status of flora and vegetation are assessed. Four appendixes include a syntaxonomical scheme, a brief history of botanical studies and explorations in the Islands, ethnobotanical notes, and a list of selected literature.
