Ecosystems of California

“Ecosystems of California is likely to become the first reference for many people working in, studying, or just enjoying California ecosystems. The authors and contributors are excellent, and all are authorities in their fields.”—Peter B. Moyle, coeditor of Suisun Marsh, coauthor of Protecting Life on Earth, and author of Inland Fishes of California

“Even in a time when books and bookshelves are declining, I envision that every California ecologist—and many ecologists globally, especially with interest in Mediterranean ecosystems—will have this book on their shelf.”—Michael Allen, Director, Center for Conservation Biology, UC Riverside, and author of The Ecology of Mycorrhizae

“Ecosystems of California synthesizes the state of knowledge of California ecosystems and distills future trends. Each chapter is comprehensive, detailed, and well referenced, and it truly covers California ecosystems from the oceans to the mountaintops. It spans everything I could think of offering in a class.”—Jessica Blois, UC Merced, contributing author to Biodiversity in a Changing Climate
