Southeastern Grasslands: Biodiversity, Ecology, and Management brings together the latest research on Southeastern prairie systems and species, provides a complete picture of an increasingly rare biome, and offers solutions to many conservation biology queries.
The few remaining grassland sites are complex ecosystems, home to hundreds of distinct plant and animal species, and worthy of study.
Now more than 99 percent of these prairies, glades, and savannas have been plowed up or paved over, lost to agriculture, urban growth, and cattle ranching.
However, two centuries ago it contained hundreds of thousands of acres of natural grasslands that stretched from Florida to Texas.
