Trees are an intrinsic part of the environment and have an extraordinary value, not only as sources of a variety of products – from timber and pharmaceuticals to shelter and shade – but also as key members of ecosystems and habitats around the globe.
This comprehensive guide explores trees from every perspective, including their botany, diversity and adaptation, and the varied communities they support. It provides a survey of remarkable trees around the world, describes the relationship between humans and trees through the ages, and discusses the threats that trees face as well as ways we can protect these magnificent organisms for future generations.
