Marin Flora is a comprehensive exploration of the diverse ecosystems and natural beauty of Marin County, California. From the rugged slopes of Mount Tamalpais to the coastal dunes and marshlands, the book examines the interplay of geology, climate, and vegetation that define the region. Shaped by the San Andreas Fault and its proximity to the Pacific Ocean, Marin's unique topography has preserved a wealth of plant life, offering a stark contrast to the urbanized areas of the San Francisco Bay. With detailed accounts of ancient Franciscan rock formations, coastal sands, and soils that support a variety of ecosystems, the text paints a vivid picture of this ecologically rich landscape. The book highlights the intricate relationship between Marin's climate and its plant communities, documenting transitions from fog-draped coastal forests to sunlit grasslands and chaparral. It describes 12 major plant associations, including redwood forests, oak woodlands, and coastal brush, each shaped by specific environmental factors. By blending scientific insight with an appreciation for Marin's enduring wildness, Marin Flora serves as an essential guide for botanists, ecologists, and nature lovers, inviting readers to explore and protect the region's ecological treasures. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1949.
