Nine expeditions through the Southwest of Western Australia over a period of 15 years triggered the interest of the authors to explore also some deserts in the region, which leads to three further excursions into the sandy dunes of the desert. Observations of plant life in the deserts focused not only on identifying plants, but also on gaining some understanding of the aboriginal desert people of centuries past, and their own survival strategies in such extreme conditions. Also part of the Canning Stock Route was followed and explored, but the most rewarding and interesting finds were done criss-crossing the desert away from highways, tracks, and paths. The most remote areas showed species richness and surviving strategies which by far exceeded expectations. 001440902 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed November 18, 2021). 001440902 650_0 $$aDesert plants$$zAustralia$$zWestern Australia. 001440902 650_0 $$aPhytogeography$$zAustralia$$zWestern Australia. 001440902 650_6 $$aFlore désertique$$zAustralie$$zAustralie-Occidentale. 001440902 650_6 $$aPhytogéographie$$zAustralie$$zAustralie-Occidentale. 001440902 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001440902 7001_ $$aPignatti Wikus, Erika,$$eauthor. 001440902 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030853284$$z9783030853280$$w(OCoLC)1261303917 001440902 830_0 $$aGeobotany studies,$$x2198-2570 001440902 852__ $$bebk 001440902 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-85329-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001440902 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1440902$$pGLOBAL_SET 001440902 980__ $$aBIB 001440902 980__ $$aEBOOK 001440902 982__ $$aEbook 001440902 983__ $$aOnline 001440902 994__ $$a92$$bISE
