Lee, thanks. I'm one of those horrible northeasterners who see a map of the US as: East Coast to the Appalachians, blank space, blank space, blank space, Rocky Mountains, West Coast...
That's really not good of me. Need to take an I-80 road trip a la John McPhee- I keep talking about it. Although the weakest of his installments in Annals of the Former World is 'Crossing the Craton'. Ed, is there anything for a geologist to do in the mid-west other than look for natural gas and coal deposits? Beth, your farm looks incredible on the map link you sent. I expect eternal chastisement for my topographical superficiality...

Others, such as chestnut, graybirch, black birch and others that had range limits further east than theprairie-forest border. Lee At 07:28 PM 11/26/2009, you wrote: Jenny, Reference your question, "where is a distinct western cut-off fornortheastern tree species?" Tree distribution maps exist showing thenatural range of each species. You probably know this already. However, agood source for range maps is Silvics of North America. Google Silvics ofNorth America, choose a species, page down, and view the range map. Eachspecies has its range. You can decide what you want to say for a speciesafter viewing its map. Hope this helps.

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

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