Quite different from the (gorgeous) books you’ve mentioned, but one that I really enjoyed a lot as well was Barkskins by Annie Proulx.

Swamplands by Edward Struzik! Fantastic book about the importance of wetlands and how we have ignored them to our detriment. Lots of cool stuff about swamps, marshes, bogs, fens…

Loved this one – The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring by Richard Preston
“Hidden away in foggy, uncharted rain forest valleys in Northern California are the largest and tallest organisms the world has ever sustained–the coast redwood trees, Sequoia sempervirens.”

Greenwood by Michael Christie if you want another fiction book about trees being woven through the lives of the characters.
Tree Story by Valerie Trouet for a nonfiction book about tree rings and how they’ve been used to help understand human and climate history.
I also loved Braiding Sweetgrass and really want to read the author’s other two books, Gathering Moss and The Serviceberry, but haven’t been able to yet. You could give those a try!
