Field Guide to the Trees of the Gila Region of New Mexico is the
definitive guide for field botanists, researchers, students, and
avid nature lovers who wish to explore the natural history of
native and introduced tree species across the Gila. The book
documents over seventy-five tree species in the first wilderness
area in the United States--and the largest in New Mexico--known for
its wildness, remoteness, and significant recreation opportunities.
Drawing on extensive fieldwork, the authors feature detailed
individual species accounts and special ecological and
ethnobotanical information, providing full dichotomous keys to the
families, genera, and species of all trees in the region. Color
photographs of the species provide diagnostic clarity for easy
identification, showing the whole tree, trunk, and foliage as well
as macro photos of the flowers, fruits, or cones and other
significant features. This comprehensive and user-friendly guide
will be welcomed by residents and visitors studying and discovering
the diverse trees of the Gila Region.
This is the first in-depth coverage of the plants on islands in the
Gulf of California found in between the coasts of Baja California
and Sonora. The work is the culmination of decades of study by
botanist Richard Felger and recent investigations by Benjamin
Wilder, in collaboration with Sr. Humberto Romero-Morales, one of
the most knowledgeable Seris concerning the region's flora. Their
collective effort weaves together careful and accurate botanical
science with the rich cultural and stunning physical setting of
this island realm. The researchers surveyed, collected, and studied
thousands of plants-seen here in meticulous illustrations and
stunning colour photographs- providing the most precise species
accounts of the islands ever made.
