This work is the culmination of well over 30 years of personal study of the hepatic flora of Britain in the field which has enabled the author to take into account the full range of variation of each taxon. It focuses particularly on the dangers posed by fungal infection of urban trees, giving detailed information on the examination and effects of the most important species associated with damage, and new ways of predicting the advance of decay in the living tree.
The subject is illustrated and made easily accessible by numerous colored photos of fungus fruit bodies, defect symptoms, and macroscopic and microscopic pictures of wood decay. A detailed introduction to the fundamentals of wood pathology provides a way into the subjects of applied mycology and tree care for readers without previous special knowledge.The work concludes with Glossary, Vice-counties in the British Isles and map, Bibliography and Index.
