Tbh I've never really seen field guides as something that'd help out that much in Forestry, but I will say I remember Sibley's having range maps and we'd sometimes use it to reference trivial anatomical/physiological/structural tree facts in-competition.kokonattsu wrote: ↑August 12th, 2023, 10:15 amOverall not bad, although it doesn't get too specific imo. To me the guide is more of a backup incase the binder doesn't have enough info, or the binder doesn't have range maps or whatever.

Re: Forestry B/C
Do they necessarily recommend it? I thought they were just saying that that's where their taxonomy came from.
The 2023 rules say "The National competition will be based on the 2023 Official Science Olympiad National Tree List
which is based on the taxonomy of the National Audubon Society Trees of North America, 2021 Edition" which is probably something they've been saying because there's some stuff whose stuff are contentious (lumps and splits and stuff, especially, say, Frosted Hawthorn), so they wanted to have some sense of consistency.

Re: Forestry B/C
^ Exactly what Shrey said. Then again, I don't even fully agree with Audubon's taxonomy (seeing the list) but it is what it is...sc95837 wrote: ↑August 13th, 2023, 4:59 pmDo they necessarily recommend it? I thought they were just saying that that's where their taxonomy came from.
