Book description
In Habitats and Ecological Communities of Indiana, leading experts
assess the health and diversity of Indiana's eight wildlife habitats,
providing detailed analysis, data-generated maps, color photographs,
and complete lists of flora and fauna. This groundbreaking reference
details the state's forests, grasslands, wetlands, aquatic systems,
barren lands, and subterranean systems, and describes the nature and
impact of two man-made habitats-agricultural and developed lands. The
book considers extirpated and endangered species alongside invasives
and exotics, and evaluates floral and faunal distribution at century
intervals to chart ecological change.
"[This] book details natural habitats, man-made habitats,
land use, soils, plants and wildlife. It covers everything from
endangered species to invasive species and is a great reference for
anyone interested in conserving Indiana's environment." -wbiw. com
