DESCRIPTION:The first notable fact is that\, apart from Ireland\, Britain 
 has the lowest woodland cover in relation to its size than any other count
 ry in Europe. That second is that\, ignoring taxonomically complex genera 
 such as Sorbus and Ulmus\, there is a very limited number of native forest
  tress (and shrubs)\, with important genera only represented by one or two
  species.\n\nWe compare this with forest composition in other regions of n
 orthern and southern Europe and then with temperate areas of East Asia and
  North America.\n\nThe key to great differences in diversity and fascinati
 ng distribution patterns of individual tree genera\, so revealed\, lies in
  the geological\, geographical and climatic history of the Northern Hemisp
 here.
