Trees

Trees are among the largest living organisms on our planet. In a fascinating way, these long-lived organisms have developed strategies to survive sustainably and withstand the adversities they face due to their rootedness. Like living sculptures, trees can tell entire stories of life and suffering. The new edition of this practical guide succinctly explains, in over 500 entries, the symptoms of their body language, processes occurring within the plants, and the causes of deviations in growth, development, and appearance. From "abnormality" to "crotch," each technical term is explained knowledgeably and vividly. The engaging images accompanying each entry enhance understanding, while the clear and informative texts provide valuable information for professionals and answer numerous questions for interested laypersons.
