The 576-page Aquatic Plants in Ireland-A Photographic Guide identifies flora in freshwater habitats across the country – using concise text, and more than 1,200 full colour photographs and diagrams.
This comprehensive Irish aquatic plant encyclopedia is unique. And in it the diversity of our lakes, reservoirs, ponds, canals, rivers, streams, ditches, bog pools, and wetlands, are more than matched by the diverse plant species that call these habitats home.
Aquatic Plants in Ireland-A Photographic Guide also includes a number of invasive alien plant species that are rapidly expanding their range in, and along, Ireland’s watercourses – and having serious adverse effects on native habitats and biodiversity.
The guide was funded by Inland Fisheries Ireland, with support from INVAS Biosecurity Ltd, and compiled by three experienced Irish field ecologists–Prof. Joe Caffrey, Dr Ronan Matson, and Dr Rossa Ó’Briain.
