Pages : 732
Book Description
"This completely new edition of Terrestrial Vegetation of California clearly documents the extraordinary complexity and richness of the plant communities and of the state and the forces that shape them.

Traditional pressures of development and invasive species have been joined by a newly-recognized threat: human-caused climate change.
