Ecology of the Shortgrass Steppe: A Long-Term Perspective
summarizes and synthesizes more than sixty years of research that
has been conducted throughout the shortgrass region in North
America. The shortgrass steppe was an important focus of the
International Biological Program's Grassland Biome project, which
ran from the late 1960s until the mid-1970s. The work conducted by
the Grassland Biome project was preceded by almost forty years of
research by U.S. Department of Agriculture researchers-primarily
from the Agricultural Research Service-and was followed by the
Shortgrass Steppe Long-Term Ecological Research project. This
volume is an enormously rich source of data and insight into the
structure and function of a semiarid grassland.
