Written with the precision of a scientist and the passion of a dedicated naturalist, Pearsall chronicles the intricate relationships between landscape, climate, soil, and the plants and animals that have adapted to these demanding environments. The text argues that upland habitats are not barren wastelands but dynamic, richly layered ecosystems shaped by millennia of natural and human influence, illustrating how grazing, burning, and drainage have profoundly altered the character of the British uplands. Part of the celebrated Collins New Naturalist series, the volume details the succession of plant communities across different altitudes and substrates, grounding its observations in rigorous ecological science while remaining accessible to the engaged general reader. It stands as an essential and enduring reference for anyone with a serious interest in the natural heritage of Britain's high places.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839387611355,"sku":"2026770001924-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8c376173-9105-4e1c-939f-35e2b4ae7001.png?v=1780561317","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001924-secondhand-the-new-naturalist-mountains-and-moorlands","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
