The culmination of three decades of work by Michigan Natural
Features Inventory ecologists, this essential guidebook to the
natural communities of Michigan introduces the diverse terrain of a
unique state. Small enough to carry in a backpack, this field guide
provides a system for dividing the complex natural landscape of
Michigan into easily understood and describable components called
natural communities. Providing a new way to explore Michigan's many
environments, this book details natural communities ranging from
patterned fen to volcanic bedrock glade and beyond. The
descriptions are supplemented with distribution maps, vibrant
photographs, and comprehensive lists of characteristic plant
species. The authors suggest places to visit to further study each
type of natural community and provide a comprehensive glossary of
ecological terms, as well as a dichotomous key for aiding field
identification. An invaluable resource, this book is meant to serve
as a tool for those seeking to understand, describe, document,
conserve, and restore the diversity of natural communities native
to Michigan.
