Part of the book series: Geobotany Studies ((GEOBOT))

Abstract

Here is presented the distribution of the vegetation series along the climatic gradients of the sector of the central Alps, southern side. That corresponds to the Trentino-Alto Adige Region. They were distinct zonal, intrazonal, azonal and extrazonal series. The vegetation of the Trentino-Alto Adige Region is caracterized by 128 vegetation series. This high number is the consequence of multiple causes, such as latitudinal extension, lithological substrates, geomorphological conditions and phytoclimate. It demonstrates the complexity and the great phytogeographic diversity of the territory under study, with a very marked gradient, passing from the prealpic to the endoalpic sector.
