Atlas of Current and Potential Future Distributions of Common Trees of the Eastern United States

Quarto softcover; 245 pp. Tight binding, clean throughout. B/w and color figures.Detailed technical report documenting the current and possible future distribution of 80 common tree species in the Eastern US. Includes numerous maps, charts, and data tables. Very minor edge wear. Very Good+. A comprehensive scientific atlas that utilizes Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) data from over 100,000 field plots to model the potential impact of global climate change on forest composition. Analyzes 33 environmental variablesincluding climate, soil, and land useto provide a detailed perspective on the sensitivity of specific tree species to warming trends. Organized into four parts, it covers current status, potential change under two global circulation model scenarios, life history characteristics, and migration modeling. Serves as a vital resource for researchers and land managers studying the ecological implications of long-term environmental shifts.
