A visually stunning, meticulously researched field guide to all the major habitats of Australia, Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands
When visitors think of Australia, they expect strange wildlife such as kangaroos, platypus, koalas, and cassowaries. Yet nothing prepares people for the otherworldly landscapes of mallee and mulga woodlands, karri forests, and spinifex and gibber deserts. This illustrated guide covers every major habitat found on the continent together with those of New Guinea and the Solomons. Making the otherworldly understandable, it presents an easy-to-use system for exploring and enjoying habitats by combining wildlife assemblages with descriptions of habitat structure, climate, soils, and botany. Packed with invaluable information, Habitats of Australia, New Guinea, and the Solomons completely redefines how we experience the landscapes and wildlife in this spectacular region of the world.- Features engaging, fact-filled descriptions of 85 major habitats
- Combines all state vegetation and ecosystem mapping from the region to provide completely original, up-to-date habitat maps
- Blends vibrant climate graphs and silhouettes with more than 350 stunning photos, illustrating the relationships between landscapes and their wildlife
- Formatted like a field guide for easy reference, accessible to nonacademics, and essential for working ecologists, botanists, and conservationists
- An ideal travel companion for birders, naturalists, and wildlife enthusiasts
