Encyclopedia of Bio-indicating Plants, Volume 1
The product is only available in French language
This book links soil, plants and man. Since they first appeared, plants have colonized a variety of living environments, adapting to soils, climatic conditions and even agricultural practices.
What's the link between a field of poppies and past farming practices? Why is my garden invaded by bindweed? What do dandelions tell us when they are abundant in meadows? How is it that the therapeutic indications for treating man and healing the earth are so close? These are just some of the questions to which this book, the first in a series, provides answers.
It gives a global and dynamic vision of soil evolution through the discovery of plants that grow spontaneously. It provides clear, easy-to-implement solutions to help individuals and professionals alike improve their soils. The medicinal uses of each plant are indicated, as well as possible food uses. A recipe booklet lets you take your first steps as a "budding cook"!
Over 1,300 color photos help you identify each of the 284 species presented, so you can make the right diagnosis. And this is just the beginning, as other volumes will be added to this original and fascinating encyclopedia, to be enjoyed without moderation!
Gérard Ducerf, a field botanist since 1979 and a former farmer, currently divides his time between carrying out soil diagnostics, various botanical surveys throughout France and training for a wide audience.
