Forest of the Far North

The Treeline: The Last Forest and the Future of Life on Earth

“The tree line” is a concept in ecology, environmental science, and geography. It indicates the limit of tree growth.
Over the past fifty years, the world's northern forests have been moving northward. Between 2018 and 2020, renowned British non-fiction writer Ben Rawlence traveled across Canada, Siberia, Norway, Greenland, and Alaska, specifically tracking six tree species that can withstand the severe cold of high latitudes. He also spoke with ecologists and naturalists, visited local residents, observed trees, and discussed immense environmental changes.
It was a journey full of wonder and awe. This book combines reportage with the latest scientific research to tell the story of the last remaining forest on the verge of disappearing, and what it means for the future of all life on Earth.
