"The Great Lakes Forest, lying in a tension zone between the oak-hickory and northern coniferous forests, occupies the northern half of Michigan's Lower Peninsula and some of the Upper peninsula. It is Michigan's cool North Woods.and [its] Thuja swamps which provide the richest habitat for mosses." from the acknowledgements.
Howard Crum, among the foremost authorities on mosses, offers a thorough inventory of one of the more conspicuous and attractive features of the region. His book, though written with the students at the University of Michigan in mind, is also tailored for use in a broader area, in fact much of eastern North America. The introductory key includes all Michigan genera, and the text gives incidental means of identifying all of Michigan's mosses and most of those of the entire Great lakes-St. Lawrence River area.
