THE TREELINE The Last Forest and the Future of Life on Earth

According to this audiobook, boreal forest trees are dying and being replaced with smaller tree species that have literally moved north to take advantage of climate change. But these new trees don't perform the photosynthesis cycle with the same magnitude that boreal forest trees do. Narrator Jamie Parker uses an intense tone to describe what is happening to these magnificent trees and what scientists predict the result will be. Parker's British accent enhances Rawlence's descriptions of these wonderful forests. His performance of the casual conversations among the ordinary people who work in these forests is rendered in cheerful tones, which helps listeners hear what people believe despite what scientists think. They believe the forests will adapt and continue to provide food and oxygen. Only time will tell who is correct. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2022]
