Tree by Tree is a warning and a toolkit for the future of forest
recovery. Scott J. Meiners investigates the critical biological
threats endangering tree species native to the forests of eastern
North America, providing a needed focus on this plight. Meiners
suggests that if we are to save our forests, the first step is to
recognize the threats in front of us. Meiners focuses on five
familiar trees—the American elm, the American chestnut, the
eastern hemlock, the white ash, and the sugar maple—and shares
why they matter economically, ecologically, and culturally. From
outbreaks of Dutch elm disease to infestations of emerald ash
borers, Meiners highlights the challenges that have led or will
lead to the disappearance of these trees from forests. In doing so,
he shows us how diversity loss often disrupts intricately balanced
ecosystems and how vital it is that we pay more attention to
massive changes in forest composition. With practical steps for the
conservation of native tree species, Tree by Tree offers the
inspiration and insights we need to begin saving our forests.
