Appendixes include an extensive list of native plants by ecosystem type, contacts with public agencies and private conservation organizations, lists of field guides and related books, and a table that shows which wildlife species use various ecosystems.Joe Schaefer is associate professor and George Tanner is professor of wildlife ecology and conservation at the University of Florida.
