New Zealand's Native Trees by John Dawson & Rob Lucas
New Zealand is one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, and our unique native forests are a major reason for this status. Not only do they look, smell and feel like no other forest on earth, the majority of plants occur nowhere else. This remarkable fact, along with ancient botanical connections to other places and the extraordinary adaptations of our plants over millions of years of isolation, add up to something that is of huge significance globally.
New Zealand's Native Trees celebrates the uniqueness and incredible diversity of our trees and forests. A landmark book, of the kind that is published only once in a generation, it is a wonderful contribution to the documentation and understanding of the richness and diversity of New Zealand's natural environment.
