Book excerpt: A valuable nature guide for tourists and natives In this indispensable guide to the wonders of Florida's diverse fauna and flora, naturalists John Perry and Jane Greverus Perry trace the natural history of the state from its origins under the sea to present-day concerns about endangered species. Written for tourists and natives alike, The Nature of Florida explores the landscape beyond the familiar theme parks, golf courses, and beaches to open new vistas of quiet places nearby: great watery wildernesses, wide prairies, pine forests, silent rivers, and thousands of lakes. The Perrys describe and tell how to find some of Florida's best-kept natural secrets and unique ecosystems -- including estuaries, cypress swamps, subtropical woodlands, everglades, and coral reefs -- and provide a fascinating chapter on the state's most charismatic, and threatened, wildlife. The Nature of Florida is less a history of the state than a celebration of what remains of its biological diversity and a plea to preserve it.

This book was released on 2021-07-19 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an invaluable compilation of ecological information on 244 species of trees, shrubs, and woody vines found in the northern half of the Florida peninsula and in the Florida Panhandle. It covers the full range of native species in the region as well as common exotic plants, drawing on original experience and field research by ecologist Robert Simons. For each species, Simons describes the plant’s leaves, flowers, and fruit, geographical distribution, size, and lifespan. He also discusses its typical habitats, soil and light requirements, water needs and flooding tolerance, adaptation to fire, economic importance, and the plants, insects, and diseases most often associated with it. Notably, the book focuses on each plant’s relationship with wildlife, including which species eat the fruit or foliage or pollinate the flowers. It also features an introduction to the biological communities of northern Florida and a helpful glossary of botanical terms. The Ecology of the Trees, Shrubs, and Woody Vines of Northern Florida provides gardeners, landscapers, scientists, and students a foundational understanding of how these plants fit into the communities of organisms in which they live and how they have adapted to their place in their physical environment.
