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: —Globe and Mail

This 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.
