EXPLORING THE TREELINE
A fascinating tour of our planet's great hope
“A forest is not a static thing; it is a constantly evolving mosaic of species in multiple relations with each other as well as with the rocks, the atmosphere, and the climate. The pioneering Russian ecologist Sukachev called this interrelated system biogenocoenosis. The [indigenous Alaskan] Koyukon people call it “the world that Raven made.”
So explains Ben Rawlence, whose first foray into climate writing,The Treeline, explores the science and stories of the world’s last remaining great forest – the planet’s great northern/boreal system that forms a fragmented necklace that lies across the Arctic regions of the Earth. As the subtitle explains, it is the mission of the book to research this immense forest and the future of life on Earth.
