Description
|
|
|
|
Conifers dominate the forests of the temperate northern hemisphere, forming the backbone of their boreal ecosystems, and are also vital to human industry and society. Based on more than five decades of study, this heavily illustrated reference by forester Graham Powell provides a guided tour of conifers from seed and reproduction through old age and death, with expansive morphological, anatomical, and physiological information. Though focusing on the most common species, the engaging text is peppered throughout with interesting facts and comparative data about well-known and lesser-known species. "Well edited, well indexed, clearly written, illustrated with 685 color images, this book is a must for anyone dealing with trees of the northeastern United States and Canada and will be a valuable supplement in forestry and botany courses."—Economic Botany
