Winner of the 2022 Marsh Book of the Year Award A long-awaited
volume in the New Naturalist series examining the trees of Britain.
Trees are immensely valuable. They give shape to our lives with
wood, the material that makes our homes, our books, our belongings;
they nourish us with the air we breathe and the fruits we eat; and
they sustain us, with their shade and the comfort of their
presence. They are also fascinating - they are the biggest and
oldest living organisms on the planet and are essential components
of many of the landscapes of Britain. Trees have been vital in
determining the ecology of our planet as well as the development of
human cultures and communities, yet how much do we really
understand about them? How do trees live? How do they fit into
their environments? Why are they so important to ecosystems on
earth, and to us? And what does the future hold for trees? Can they
solve the problems of climate change by absorbing enough carbon
dioxide, and would we run out of oxygen if all the world's trees
disappeared? Do trees really talk to each other? There is much to
learn about these silent giants. Ecologist Peter Thomas explores
all these questions and many more, delving into the often hidden
life of trees, using examples from around the world, from common
trees to the unusual and bizarre. This comprehensive introduction
to all aspects of tree biology and ecology presents the latest
scientific and botanical discoveries and explores the wonders and
mysteries of trees.
