Longleaf, far as the eye can see : a new vision of North America's richest forest / Bill Finch ... [and others] ; foreword by E.O. Wilson.
Longleaf forests once covered 92 million acres from Texas to Maryland to Florida. These grand old-growth pines were the "alpha tree" of the largest forest ecosystem in North America and have come to define the southern forest. But a complex web of factors has reduced those forests so that longleaf is now found only on 3 million acres. Fortunately, longleaf forests are once again spreading across the South. This book invites readers to experience the astounding beauty and significance of the majestic longleaf ecosystem.
