Abstract (englisch):

This blog post in paysages is a book review of Natural History of the Azores (2018) by António Neves Trota and Maria João Pereira, a revised and expanded edition of their earlier works. The volume offers a thorough synthesis of geological, ecological, and biogeographical research on the Azores archipelago up to 2017, making it an indispensable resource for scientists and enthusiasts alike. It features detailed inventories of vascular plants and vertebrate species, as well as insights into the region’s ecological research centers, such as the Faial Botanical Garden. The book’s accessible language, extensive bibliography, and rich visual documentation—including maps, graphs, and species illustrations—make it a valuable tool for both researchers and amateur naturalists. While its scientific rigor and interdisciplinary approach are commendable, the limited availability of the publication in continental Europe remains a notable drawback.
