Trees
Discover the wonder of trees—one of the most essential life forms on the planet-in this beautifully illustrated, entertaining, and educational guide from the acclaimed author of What We See in the Stars.
Trees are fascinating: The oldest living organism on Earth is a tree, and forest biomes cover one-third of the Earth's surface. Trees provide fruit, spices, nuts, timber, shade, habitats, and oxygen, as well as absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. They can tap into fungal networks in the soil to care for each other by trading water and nutrients and to warn one another of drought and disease.
