Grasslands of the World: Diversity, Management and Conservation Squires Victor R.
This book begins with a brief account of the extraordinary sequence of events that led to emergence of grasslands as major vegetation formations that now occupy some of the driest and hottest and the highest and coldest on earth as well as vast steppes and prairies in more temperate climes. It is a story of adaptation to changing climates and the changing biophysical environments.A major focus of the book is the Palaearctic biogeographic realm that extends over some 45 million km and thus more than 1/3 of the terrestrial ice-free surface on Earth. It is the story of grasses successfully competing with forests and woodlands, aided and abetted by grazing herbivores and by humans and their use of fire as a tool.
It comprises extensive grasslands of different types and origin, which can be subdivided into (1) natural grasslands with (1a) steppes
