[Richard Liu · Rating 5 out of 5]

Highlights for me included: the relationship between geography and ecological conditions for forests - successional patterns of forests and wetlands - the use of pollen caught in peat bogs to track forest migration since the ice age - a discussion of soil composition and its effect on vegetation

An excellent introduction to the climate, geology, trees, shrubs, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, and birds of southern New England. Well written. Not many useful illustrations, though.

Pretty much the perfect overview. Zero notes. Only wish they would do a modern edition as some info has become slightly out-of-date.
