The Forests of Mount Rainier National Park

"The Forests of Mount Rainier National Park" by G. F. Allen is a study about the different forests inside Mount Rainier National Park and how the weather shapes them. It looks at the kinds of trees that live there, how they grow, and what affects them, like fire and how high up they are. The book goes over the different kinds of trees, like Douglas firs and western red cedars, and explains how fast they grow and what they do for the environment. It also talks about how things like fires have changed the forests over time and how new trees slowly grow back in the mountains. The book uses descriptions and science to show off how special and complicated these forests are.
