Reviews
"This volume is the first of a planned series on Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER). . . . The nucleus of the Konza prairie was 371 hectares purchased by The Nature Conservancy in 1976. This was increased to 3487 hectares by 1980. In this volume 30 authors summarize the background and theongoing research in 17 chapters. . . . Much of the research has established baseline data on geology, soils, hydrology, microbiology, and the makeup of plant and animal communities. . . . The overall hypothesis of the authors that this grassland is a nonequilibrium system is adequately supported bythe data. The 150 figures and tables will bear careful study as well as samplings from the 40 pages of references. The authors are quite correct in feeling that their data and interpretation will help in the future management of the world's biological resources. This includes the prediction andameliorization of global climate changes."--Journal of Environmental Quality, "This compendium of information about climate, geology, history, fauna (even the aquatic fauna) and flora of the Konza prairie in the Flint hills of Kansas is filled with technical detail and jargon, creating a breadth of coverage that is a crucial strength of the book. Seventeen chapters fallinto the following sections: physical environment, terrestrial populations, aquatic ecology, ecosystem processes, and a view of the future. Rather than bibliographies for each chapter, a more useful single list of references was provided for the entire book. . . . The focus of this long-termecological research site has been the role of fire frequency in determining the flora, fauna and especially nitrogen cycling. . . . Frequently it is noted that research creates more questions that it answers. The studies at Konza prairie have shown that population dynamics and nutrient cycling aremuch more dependent on extreme, localized events than was generally appreciated."--The Quarterly Review of Biology, "This compendium of information about climate, geology, history, fauna(even the aquatic fauna) and flora of the Konza prairie in the Flint hills ofKansas is filled with technical detail and jargon, creating a breadth ofcoverage that is a crucial strength of the book.

Synopsis
This is the first volume in the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network Series. Established in 1980, the LTER program is exploring a wide variety of biomes characteristic of the United States and developing a baseline for ecosystem dynamics over long time periods and broad spatial scales. The volumes in this series will include both comprehensive reviews of research from particular sites and topical overviews which use data from many sites to examine important questions in ecology. This volume, which focuses on the Konza Prairie in northeastern Kansas, is a synthesis of over 15 years of research in pristine tallgrass prairie. It gives a comprehensive site description and summarizes the key long-term studies that form the basis for the Konza Prairie Long-Term Ecological Research Program. It then presents a synthesis of the many research areas involved and develops a foundation for future ecological studies in tallgrass prairie. With over 150 figures and tables, chapters that encompass microbial through landscape scales, and an emphasis on lessons learned from long-term studies, this volume provides a unique and comprehensive perspective on the structural and functional ecology of the grassland ecosystem that once covered most of central North America., This is the first volume in the Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Network Series .

They shipped the book right away, packaged it perfectly, and it was exactly as described and pictured. They quickly responded to an offer, and I feel like I got another amazing deal! Loved the note they left inside too. Buy from them and you will be very very happy. Thank you so much! A+++++++
- p***3 (1)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatofirst, THANK YOU. my mom had this exact cookbook when I was a child, so it’s a nostalgic feeling to have. I’ve never stopped thinking about it. I ordered it on Amazon a week ago, and they sent me something else that was not it. and was 3x the price. so I chose Ebay. the condition is PERFECT. as if it has never been touched. not a crinkled page, not a stain, not a smell. it was packaged securely. it is as described. shipping is just high in general, anywhere. not disappointed. THANK YOU, again.ANY BITCH CAN COOK Cookbook - 2005 - San Angelo Texas - J Wilde & Jackie McClure (N° 395958724889)
- i***3 (142)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoItems as described. Shipped fast! Affordable. Seller was willing to work with me on the price (always appreciated!). For the past several months I had been looking for two of the titles at a price I was willing to pay, without success. None of the books are collector's items or in exceptional condition, but they are all serviceable reading copies. I did have to buy 2 books that I already had copies of, but the price of this lot (delivered) was still more affordable than other sellers' deals.LARRY NIVEN Lot of 7 1980s HC - Integral Trees, Ringworld Engineers, Footfall +3 (N° 396314115284)
