| Abstract
|
:
|
In this, one of a new generation of field guides that go beyond identification to interpretation, all the forest habitats of the American West are described and illustrated, including lists of indicator species to help you identify forest types. All the wildlife and plant life likely to be seen in any western forest habitat is covered, and hundreds of color paintings and photographs and dozens of line drawings show key plants, animals, and ecological interactions.--From publisher description.
