The Forests of British Columbia by Cameron Young Hardcover, 1985, 192 pages The forests of British Columbia are not just a random mass of trees. They are twelve distinct plant communities, independent ecosystems that have their origins roughly 14,000 years ago when the climate developed a consistent pattern and the geographical features of the land stabilized. In this book you can learn to identify the forests by the trees, using climate, geography and plant communities to define the twelve forest groups. The forest’s histories are detailed and their miraculous chemistry described. Finally, issues facing responsible stewardship are discussed. See pictures Pickup in Langford Cross posted
