Life in a Deciduous Forest: The Adirondacks

Ecosystems in Action presents specific ecosystems that exist within broad biomes and a concrete picture of the diversity and interdependence of specific organisms living there. Illustrating not only how each ecosystem works in its pristine, balanced state, this series further shows how human interaction has changed, and often endangered, them.
