Forests in Our World124

Forests in Our World (published by teNeues, www.teneues.com) looks at the impact of climate on the world's woodlands. Gunther Willinger takes readers on a fascinating journey through Earth’s five forest formations— from the coniferous forests of the far north to the rainforests of the tropics—and explains both the complex relationship between the forest, the climate and the environment. This book is a tribute to and exploration of forests at a time when we urgently need to understand and protect them. It explores different forest types and their development according to local climate and soil conditions.
