Description
Trees of Catalonia
Book Summary
A practical and visual guide for identifying the most representative tree species of Catalonia. With an accessible approach, this mini-guide allows both enthusiasts and naturalists to recognize native trees through clear photographs and precise descriptions. An ideal companion for field trips and excursions.
What is it about?
This guide is conceived as a simple tool to help identify most of the country's trees. If the tree is familiar to us, it will be very easy to recognize it from the photographs and check if its description matches its overall characteristics. If the tree is completely unknown to us, it will require more effort, but it will be worth it if it can eventually be identified with certainty. The work focuses exclusively on native species, excluding cultivated trees, such as fruit trees, and those typical of street and park gardening, most of which are non-native species.
