The book describes richness and diversity of Georgia’s vegetation. Contrasting ecosystems coexist on the relatively small territory of the country and include semi-deserts in East Georgia, Colchic forests with almost sub-tropical climate in West Georgia and subnival plant communities in high mountains. West Georgia lacks xerophilous vegetation zone and mesophilous forest vegetation spreads from the sea level to subalpine zone. The Colchic refugium (West Georgia) ensured survival of the Tertiary’s mesophilous forest flora. Vertical profile of the vegetation is more complex in East Georgia with semi-desert, steppe and arid open forest zone. In South Georgia the montane zone represented by montane steppe is devoid of forests
Excerpt from Common Forest Trees of Georgia: How to Know Them This handbook has been prepared in response to a growing demand for information regarding our com mon forest trees. These requests are largely the result of a widening appreciation that timber is a marketable commodity of increasing value, and that by rightly handling young timber it quickly grows into a merchantable product that will add yearly to the farm income as well as enhance the value of the farm, both as a salable property and as a comfort able and attractive home. Georgia has a great variety of trees producing useful and valuable wood. Timber is the best amp to grow on certain soils and locations on the farm. Many farms have, for example, some hillsides, or worn-out gullied sandy or wet lands better adapted for growing timber than any other crop. To rightly utilize all the farm is a sign of good farm manage ment. It is natural for young people to be interested in trees. Many will become farm owners of the future, and a knowledge of the trees will add an interest in their lives and prove to be a very material asset. The County Agents, dealing as they do with both the present and future owners of timberland, will be aided by this manual in acquiring a better knowledge of the uses and value of our common forest trees. Altogether 78 trees are described, all of which are native to the State. Grateful acknowledgment is hereby made to the State Foresters of Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina for the use of portions of the text and for the loan of many of the cuts of the hardwoods, all of which are from original drawings by Mrs. A.
