The original 1972 handbook remains an foundational text for botanists, foresters, and nature enthusiasts studying subarctic and arctic vegetation. It covers everything from major commercial timber trees (such as Sitka spruce, white spruce, and paper birch) to highly resilient low-lying tundra shrubs.
