In a seamless blend of science and personal observation, renowned ecologist Reed Noss explains the natural history of southern grasslands, their origin and history, and the physical determinants of grassland distribution, including ecology, soils, landform, and hydrology..In addition to offering fascinating new information about these little-studied ecosystems, Noss demonstrates how natural history is central to the practice of conservation. Although theory and experimentation have recently dominated the field of ecology, ecologists are coming to realize how these distinct approaches are not divergent but complementary, and that pursuing them together can bring greater knowledge and understanding of how the natural world works and how we can best conserve it..This long-awaited work sets a new standard for scientific literature and is essential reading for those who study and work to conserve the grasslands of the South as well as for everyone who is fascinated by the natural world.. | 出版日期 | Book 2013Latest edition | 关键词 | Ecology; Ecosystem; Endemic species; Grassland; Southeastern US; Fish and Wildlife Biology; Tree Biology | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.5822/978-1-61091-225-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-61091-225-9 | copyright | Island Press 2013 |
