A Field Guide to Habitats Across Australasia

Part of Princeton's Habitats of the World series, this guide helps you recognise and understand the landscapes of Australia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. It describes 85 major habitats, from mallee and mulga woodland and karri forest to spinifex and gibber desert and tropical rainforest.

For each habitat the authors explain its structure, climate, soils and characteristic plants, then outline the birds and other wildlife you are likely to find there. New habitat maps, built from regional vegetation and ecosystem mapping, show where each habitat occurs.

• 85 habitats described in quick-reference field guide format

• More than 350 photographs
• Written by experienced professional nature guides
• Paperback, 416 pages

A valuable companion for birders, naturalists and wildlife travellers, and a useful reference for ecologists, botanists and conservation workers.
