While the difficult work of the past four years, which involved necessary cuts, was not universally well-received, it was however accepted in overall terms. Nevertheless, we safely pi- loted our ship of state through a challenging period, and this was recognised by voters when they confirmed the parliamentary majorities. The new legislative period will be marked by an im- portant anniversary. The Principality of Liechtenstein will be celebrating its 300th anniversary in 2019.

The positive decision taken by the Zurich City Council on Thursday 4th November is a great tribute to the firm leadership of Ralph Zloczower. Mr. Zloczower fought tirelessly to bring the EURO 2008™ to Switzerland and to make sure it would take place in optimum conditions.

Karl-Georg Bern- hardt Verfasser Stefan Mühlbauer Wien, Februar 2008 Vorwort Vorwort Die Motivation meinerseits mich diesem Thema zu widmen, waren praktischer und auch persön- licher Natur. Angeregt zur Entscheidung für ein vegetationsökologisches Thema war ich durch eine Biotoptypenkartierung im Sommer vor Beginn der Diplomarbeit im Nationalpark Hohe Tauern im Bereich des oberen Salzachtals. Durch diese Arbeit konnte ich meine Kenntnis über Pflanzen sowie auch Vegetationseinheiten bedeutsam erweitern, was für die theoretische Aufgabe der Datenaus- wertung, welche die Basis dieser Diplomarbeit darstellte, von Vorteil, ja schier unverzichtbar war. Ich finde es spannend, eine Vegetationsanalyse wie diese für ein gesamtes Land und daher einen klar begrenzten und überschaubaren Raum zu verfassen, zudem habe ich auch die Möglichkeit gese- hen, Sichtweisen eines Landschaftsplaners in die Arbeit einfließen zu lassen. Zugegeben war der Zeitpunkt des Beginns der Recherchearbeiten im Dezember mit ein Mitentscheidungsgrund dieses Thema zu wählen, da ich nicht auf Vegetationszeiten warten musste, sondern gleich starten konnte. Das Interesse an der Synopse seitens des Fürstentums Liechtenstein motivierte mich auch immer wieder während der Arbeit am Thema. Diese Zeichnungen stammen aus dem „Codex Liechtenstein“, der von den in Österreich geborenen Gebrü- dern Bauer im Jahr 1801 fertig gestellt wurde und in 14 Bänden 3100 Pflanzendarstellungen zeigt. Der „Codex Liechtenstein“ ist nach dem „Velin de Poiteau et Tulpin“ das zweitbedeutendste Werk von Pflanzenillustrati- onen weltweit und wird im katastrophensicher gebauten Bergfried des Schlosses Vaduz aufbewahrt.
