The North American Forests: Geography, Ecology, and Silviculture describes where, why, and how the many kinds of trees found on this continent grow in silvical associations - called forest cover types. Thirteen chapters and over 100 photographs describe more than 100 forest cover types. Diverse woodlands discussed include: the Arctic tundra, Florida's tropics, the Atlantic's coastal pond pines, the Pacific's Monterey pines, the summits of Englemann spruce, and sea-level swamps of bald cypress. The book also lists "Further Readings" and "Subjects for Discussion and Essay" at the end of each chapter.
