California's unique plants range in size from the stately Coast Redwoods to the minute belly plants of the southern deserts and in age from the four-thousand year-old Bristlecone Pines to ephemeral annuals whose life span can be counted in weeks. Available at last in a thoroughly updated and revised edition, this popular book is the only concise overview of the state's remarkable flora, its plant communities, and the environmental factors that shape them. It features 188 color photographs that illustrate plants and typical plant communities around the state, and new chapters that give expanded discussions of the evolution of the California landscape, recent changes in California's flora, and more. It introduces basic concepts of plant taxonomy and plant ecology through clear examples and covers topics such as soil, climate, and geography.
"This completely new edition of "Terrestrial Vegetation of
California" clearly documents the extraordinary complexity and
richness of the plant communities and of the state and the forces
that shape them. This volume is a storehouse of information of
value to anyone concerned with meeting the challenge of
understanding, managing or conserving these unique plant
communities under the growing threats of climate change, biological
invasions and development."--Harold Mooney, Professor of
Environmental Biology, Stanford University
