The
earth's forests are havens of nature supporting a diversity of life. Shaped by
climate and geography, these vast and dynamic wooded spaces offer unique
ecosystems that shelter complex and interdependent webs of flora, fungi, and
animals. The World Atlas of Trees and Forests offers a beautiful introduction
to what forests are, how they work, how they grow, and how we map, assess, and
conserve them.
