    [synopsis] => A long-awaited volume in the New Naturalist series examining the trees of Britain. Trees are immensely valuable. They give shape to our lives with wood, the material that makes our homes, our books, our belongings, they nourish us with the air we breathe and the fruits we eat, and they sustain us, with their shade and the comfort of their presence. They are also fascinating — they are the biggest and oldest living organisms on the planet and are essential components of many of the landscapes of Britain. Trees have been vital in determining the ecology of our planet as well as the development of human cultures and communities, yet how much do we really understand about them? How do trees live? How do they fit into their environments? Why are they so important to ecosystems on earth, and to us? And what does the future hold for trees? Can they solve the problems of climate change by absorbing enough carbon dioxide, and would we run out of oxygen if all the world's trees disappeared? Do trees really talk to each other? There is much to learn about these silent giants. Ecologist Peter Thomas explores all these questions and many more, delving into the often hidden life of trees, using examples from around the world, from common trees to the unusual and bizarre. This comprehensive introduction to all aspects of tree biology and ecology presents the latest scientific and botanical discoveries and explores the wonders and mysteries of trees. Trees are a popular subject. Our knowledge of trees and how they live has been growing in leaps and bounds, and the success of books like The Hidden Life of Trees and The Mother Tree show that this science has a broad popular appeal. Timely focus on ecology and climate. Trees are a key part of interdependent ecosystems around the world, and also an integral element of all strategies for improving the health of the planet and the climate Perfect for beginners and experts alike. Peter Thomas is a long-time teacher, perfectly positioned to explain the key principles of tree biology and ecology for those new to the subject, while also holding the interest of experts with the latest theories and discoveries. Accessible. Written in an accessible style and using examples from British natural history as well as the wider world to explain and illustrate concepts. New addition to the New Naturalist series.
