The World Atlas of Trees and Forests
Shugart, Herman / White, Peter / Saatchi, Sassan / Chave, Jérôme
The earth's forests are havens of nature supporting a diversity of life. Shaped by climate and geography, these vast and dynamic wooded spaces offer unique ecosystems that shelter complex and interdependent webs of flora, fungi, and animals. The World Atlas of Trees and Forests offers a beautiful introduction to what forests are, how they work, how they grow, and how we map, assess, and conserve them."--Back cover.
