New Zealand's native forests are rich and fascinating ecosystems, and the interactions between the various plants and animals are as interesting as the individuals themselves. This book is an ecological field guide. In one volume, it provides identification for a range of common plants (trees and shrubs, vines and epiphytes, ferns, grasses, fungi and mosses) and animals (birds, frogs, lizards, insects and bats). It also offers insights into the intriguing and vital interactions between them. It has a user-friendly, color-based layout, from the tallest tree to the forest floor. Illustrated with stunning photographs, this is a comprehensive and innovative guide to the wonders of the New Zealand forest.
