Looking for Longleaf The Fall And Rise of an American Forest

Longleaf pine once flourished across the South in park-like forests of astonishing beauty and diversity--the most extensive forest ecosystem in North America. Much of the region's history is connected to these trees, which were exploited for agriculture, pasturage, timber, and naval stores. Today longleaf pine forests are recognized as one of the world's most endangered ecosystems. This book blends human and natural history to reveal the compelling story of these magnificent trees and also addresses current conservation and restoration efforts.Earley, Lawrence S. is the author of 'Looking for Longleaf The Fall And Rise of an American Forest', published 2006 under ISBN 9780807856994 and ISBN 0807856991.
