Ident broad-leaved trees shrubs in winter | books | Gustharts

 

Its from the same publisher. It now has a similar cover as the photographic one.

A guide to the identification of deciduous broad-leaved trees and shrubs in winter - FSC

[Gary Prentice]

Defence mechanisms of woody plants against fungi

 

 

1992, a Springer publication with hundreds of references.

 

Chapter 6, "Microenvironmental aspects of xylem defences to wood decay fungi" is written by Lynne Boddy.

 

Not particularly easy to read if you're rusty on biochemistry or plant structure, but worth perservering with.

Cheers, might have to hunt a cheap copy down. The new Klaus, Mynors and a couple of random old ID books in the last month has just about done my book budget for the time being!

Bit late to the party but this a good book for anyone ever north of the border. Really good history and interesting facts about the most famous trees and woodlands up here.

Reader's Digest (Nature Lover's Library) Field Guide to the Trees and Shrubs of Britain is a stellar book. For close-ups of buds, it's probably one of the best I have come across. As a supplement to Roger Phillips' book and the Collins guide, this is wonderful.

 

Only £10 on webshops, too.

 

 

I picked this book up at a carboot for a £1

Any good books (not Mattheck - got them all pretty much) on tree mechanics?
