Candace Savage’s acclaimed and beautifully written guide to the ecology of the prairies, now revised and updated.
Praise for the previous edition of Prairie:
“Impelled with its sense of the miraculous in nature.”—Globe and MailThis revised edition of Prairie features a new preface along with updated research on the effects of climate change on an increasingly vulnerable landscape.
It also offers new information on:
· conservation of threatened species, including the black-tailed prairie dog and farmland birds;
· grassland loss and conservation;
· the health of rivers and the water table;
· the effects of neonicotinoid insecticides on prairie wetlands;
· the benefits of regenerative agriculture.
Illustrated with elegant black-and-white line drawings and maps, this award-winning tome continues to be a highly readable guide to understanding the ecology, geological history, biodiversity, and resilience of the prairies.
