Peterson First Guide to Forests

The Peterson Field Guide to Ecology of Eastern Forests and Field Guide to Ecology of Western Forests have been heralded as a new generation of field guides . . . guides not just to the species within a habitat, but to the complex interrelationships of animals and plants within an entire ecosystem. Now these innovative guides have been condensed into a single First Guide covering all of North America. It describes and illustrates the fifty different kinds of forest and related habitats found throughout the United States and Canada, from the boreal forests and tundra of the north to the mangrove swamps, desert scrub, and giant saguaro forests of the south.
