Description

A comprehensive guide that features a vast range of species and plant communities and employs thorough, original keys. Based primarily on vegetative characteristics, the keys do not require that flowers or other reproductive features be present, like many plant guides. And this guide’s attention to woody plants as a complete allows one to identify a much greater number of plants. That especially suits an arid region such as Utah with less diverse native trees. Woody plants are those who have stems that persist above ground even through seasons that do not favor growth, because of low precipitation or temperatures.

Woody Plants of Utah employs dichotomous identification keys which are comparable to a game of twenty questions. They work through a process of elimination by choosing sequential alternatives.

Detailed, illustrated plant descriptions complement the keys and provide additional botanical and environmental information when it comes to a useful introductory categorization of Utah plant communities. Supplementary tools include photos, distribution maps, and an illustrated thesaurus.
