Book excerpt: Preface: With the large number of books now available featureing North American trees, the launching of another on this subject merits perhaps some explanation. Most present tree manuals fall into one of two classes: (1) encyclopedic, such as Sargent's monumental "Silva of North America," later condensed into one volume, which has been adapted by nearly every writer of tree books since it first appeared; and (2) local, as exemplified by the many excellent state and regional manuals. Nearly all these publications have been written from the botanical or taxonomic standpoint and in general treat each species in the same detail. It is obviously impossible for a beginning student in forestry to gain an adequate knowledge of more than a few of the thousand tree species native to this continent. Rather, it is desirable only to cover as many groups (genera) as possible, and to illustrate these with the species of greatest importance to forestry. Such a treatment, accompanied by adequate photographic halftones, has not been available to date, and the authors hope that the present book will fill this need. The native coniferous genera have all been included because of their relative importance, and fewer numbers; but several families, and many genera species of the broadleaved trees have been omitted. It is felt that students of forestry should first know well the commercial species of North America, and then become familiar with the lesser important trees and shrubs of the locality where they may find themselves practicing forestry. The latter must usually be done by the student himself with the aid of a local tree manual. If he has fully appreciated generic characteristics during his training in dendrology, this should not be a difficult procedure. Because this book is not comprhensive for any one portion of the country, it seems best to omit detailed keys and to use instead tables covering family and generic characters. Our experience shows that basic information is more readily assimilated in this form. The does not mean that keys are not of primary importance, and considerable time should be spent with them in identifying local material. The authors will greatly appreciate having any errors called to their attention and will also welcome comments or criticism from those using the book in teaching or otherwise. Most of the photographs were taken with one of the modern miniature cameras whose remarkable depth of focus has made possible many otherwise unattainable pictures. William M. Harlow, Ellwood S.

Download or read book Native Trees of the Midwest written by Sally S. Weeks and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2011-01-07 with total page 494 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Native Trees of the Midwest is a definitive guide to identifying trees in Indiana and surrounding states, written by three leading forestry experts. Descriptive text explains how to identify every species in any season and color photographs show all important characteristics. Not only does the book allow the user to identify trees and learn of their ecological and distributional attributes, but it also presents an evaluation of each species relative to its potential ornamental value for those interested in landscaping. Since tree species have diverse values to wildlife, an evaluation of wildlife uses is presented with a degree of detail available nowhere else. The revised and expanded second edition contains a chapter on introduced species that have become naturalized and invasive throughout the region. All accounts have been reviewed and modifications made when necessary to reflect changes in taxonomy, status, or wildlife uses. Keys have been modified to incorporate introduced species.

Download or read book The Sibley Guide to Trees written by David Allen Sibley and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive field guide to the trees of North America, featuring maps, detailed illustrations, and information on more than 600 species of trees, from the preeminent, bestselling author and illustrator “A beautiful, masterful, and much-needed work that will henceforth be our guide to the North American trees.”—Edward O. Wilson The Sibley Guide to Trees is an astonishingly elegant guide to a complex subject. It condenses a huge amount of information about tree identification—more than has ever been collected in a single book—into a logical, accessible, easy-to-use format. With more than 4,100 meticulous, exquisitely detailed paintings, the Guide highlights the often subtle similarities and distinctions between more than 600 tree species—native trees as well as many introduced species. More than 500 maps show the complete range, both natural and cultivated, for nearly all species. No other guide has ever made field identification so clear. Highlighted features include: • leaves (including multiple leaf shapes and fall leaf color) • bark • needles • cones • flowers • fruit • twigs • silhouettes Trees are arranged taxonomically, with all related species grouped together. By focusing on the fundamental characteristics of, for example, oaks or chestnuts or hickories, the Guide helps the user recognize these basic species groups the same way birders recognize thrushes, warblers, or sparrows. In addition, there are essays on taxonomy, on the cultivation of trees, and on conservation issues, reflecting Sibley’s deep concern with habitat preservation and environmental health. An important contribution to our understanding of the natural world, The Sibley Guide to Trees is a necessity for every tree lover, traveler, and naturalist.
