Special thanks go to Dr. Charles Webber of the California Academy of Sciences for the use of his magnificent photos of California conifers.
The line drawings are, for the most part, from:
Sargent, C.S. 1922. Manual of the Trees of North America (Exclusive of Mexico). Volume 1.
Many of the verbal distribution descriptions are taken from:
Silvics of North America. R. M. Burns and B. H. Honkala eds. Agriculture Handbook 654, in 2 volumes. U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Distribution maps are modifications of the range maps to be found at the web site:
Atlas of Relations between Climatic Parameters and Distributions of Important Trees and Shrubs in North America. Robert W. Thompson et al., U.S. Geological Survey.
