Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catkin-bearing trees and shrubs - willows, poplars, birches, alders and other woody plants - are an important group in British Columbia. They are found almost everywhere in the province, often dominating moister plant communities; but, despite their abundance, little is known about them. This newly revised edition is the most comprehensive and up-to-date work on catking-bearing plants in British Columbia. All 67 species are described and illustrated with detailed ink drawings by the author; and each has a distribution map. Diagnostic keys to the families, genera and species are also included. Catkin-Bearing Plants is an essential guide for biologists and naturalists studying forest ecology, and useful for anyone interested in trees and shrubs in British Columbia.

Download or read book The World of Northern Evergreens written by E. C. Pielou and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The northern coniferous forests are the most extensive in the world, covering large tracts across the boreal regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. This updated edition (1st ed., CH, Dec'88, 26-2133) provides an overview of these forests from the perspective of North America. Pielou (The Energy of Nature, CH, Oct'01, 39-0997; Fresh Water, CH, Mar'99, 36-3926) discusses the types of trees present, the interactions of trees with other organisms, and the fate of forests in a changing environment. The book is aimed at general readers, who might include interested amateurs or students in an introductory forestry course. It introduces tree taxonomy and identification along with commentary on past and present distributions and the basic morphology of trees. Pielou outlines the importance of fungi and insects in interactions and environmental factors, such as storm damage and fire, that can modify the dynamics within forested ecosystems. He presents all information in an ecological context. Informative line drawings, including anatomical details of many organisms, support the text. Because this is an introductory work, suggestions for further reading would have been helpful; however, the book is still useful for newcomers to the subject. Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates and general readers. D. H. Pfister Harvard University--Choice Reviews.

Book excerpt: A compact, comprehensive field guide to over 500 tree species from around the world The clearest, most comprehensive illustrated pocket guide to trees from around the world Suitable for beginners and established enthusiasts alike, DK Handbook: Trees explains what a tree is, how trees are classified, and how to keep a record of the trees you have seen.

To help in the initial stages of identification, the book provides a visual key that shows the differences between conifers, broad-leaves, and palms, identifies each genus by leaf type, and guides you to the correct species entry. Every entry combines a precise description with annotated photographs to highlight the tree's chief characteristics and distinguishing features, and a full-color illustration showing the spread, height, and leaf persistence of the species. A concise glossary defines technical and scientific terms. Compact enough to take out into the field or forest, DK Handbook: Trees makes identifying nature's giants easier than ever before.
