Ed - thanks, that's a great help to distinguish what's in and what's out - can't have every damn thing! (IMHO)
Bob - but Bob, I wanted someone ELSE to do the work not ME! But I'll look at the Silvics book 'cuz I know it and it's a wicked good source...

Tree distribution maps exist showing the natural range of each species. You probably know this already. However, a good source for range maps is Silvics of North America. Google Silvics of North America, choose a species, page down, and view the range map. Each species has its range. You can decide what you want to say for a species after viewing its map. Hope this helps.

I didn't go to another glossary to find these, but used some of these terms in my description texts. I see this could potentially be a nightmare. But I think it's fun to determine the scope of what a winter tree id glossary would include from an ENTS perspective. FYI the trees I am writing about native to northeastern America - from Bronx NYC to Maine, and west to, geez, where? where is a distinct western cut-off for northeastern tree species?

Back to working on "the NYBG volunteer who was asked to do a small winter id brochure and brought back a 50+ page draft for a book" project! I want to add a glossary. So, what winter tree id vocabulary do you recommend starting with A - C? And should words like "bark" be in the glossary? buds? I guess yes? I wrote a NYBG winter tree id tour and I can add that with a map to the book too. Man, I need a deadline. I'm arbitrarily picking 1/10/10. thanks Jenny -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] -- Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org Send email to [email protected] Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/entstrees?hl=en To unsubscribe send email to [email protected]
