Förlagets beskrivning
Wisconsin's Natural Communities is an invitation to discover, explore, and
understand Wisconsin's richly varied natural environment, from your backyard or
neighborhood park to stunning public preserves. Part 1 of the book explains
thirty-three distinct types of natural communities in Wisconsin - their
characteristic trees, beetles, fish, lichens, butterflies, reptiles, mammals,
wildflowers - and the effects of geology, climate, and historical events on
these habitats. Part 2 describes and maps fifty natural areas on public lands
that are outstanding examples of these many different natural communities: Crex
Meadows, Horicon Marsh, Black River Forest, Maribel Caves, Whitefish Dunes, the
Blue Hills, Avoca Prairie, the Moquah Barrens and Chequamegon Bay, the Ridges
Sanctuary, Cadiz Springs, Devil's Lake, and many others. Intended for anyone
who has a love for the natural world, this book is also an excellent
introduction for students. And, it provides landowners, public officials, and
other stewards of our environment with the knowledge to recognize natural
communities and manage them for future generations. The first half of this text explains 33 distinct types of natural
communities found in Wisconsin, and the second half describes and maps 50
natural areas on public lands that are outstanding examples of these many
different natural communities.
