THE VEGETATION OF THE ERERA-BRENDOL-CAMPOTORONDO ALPS NEAR FELTRE. The mountain group Erera-Brendol-Campotorondo is one ofthe most interesting landscapes of the Dolomites near Belluno. The vegetation consists of about 20 types which are described in their floristical composition and ecological problems. The timberline lies in about 1600m and may be regarded as particularly low for the Southern Alps. The karstic plateau is covered by a monotonous formation of Pinus mugo, Rhododendron and other prostrate shrubs.
Cattle- and sheep-grazing has played the most important role in the past and secondary grasslands are widespread. Rocks, gravels, and snow beds, although relatively limited, show a rich endemic flora and quite rare vegetation types.
