Forests in Our World- Book

$90

FORESTS IN OUR WORLD: HOW THE CLIMATE
AFFECTS WOODLANDS
Gunther Willinger

240p. Hard Cover

Forests are the green lungs of the world, absorbing carbon dioxide
and releasing oxygen. They filter our air, provide drinking water,
and help stabilize our climate. They also vary greatly by region,
providing a home to a rich diversity of animal, plant, and tree
species around the globe. Wherever you find a forest, it’s sure to be
a place of beauty, stillness, freshness, and replenishment.
This book is a tribute to and exploration of forests at a time when
we urgently need to understand and protect them. It explores different
forest types and their development according to local climate and soil
conditions. It takes us deep into the Amazonian rain forest and looks
at why this area is both particularly precious and highly vulnerable to
damage. It maps the largest contiguous forest areas and examines why
a mixed forest is more resilient than a monoculture. A rich source of
information for all those concerned with the natural world, climate
change, and environmental protection, this illustrated book is also a
beautiful immersion in the arboreal refuges of our planet. From the
vibrancy of the tropics and subtropics to the mythical deciduous
forests of Europe and the vast boreal coniferous breadth that stretches
over the northern hemisphere, this is a vital journey through the
precious green ecosystems around the globe.
