Proceedings of the ...Conference : seeds for the future, roots of the past

First issued in 1970 as Symposium on Prairie and Prairie Restoration, the proceedings from these biennial conferences were subsequently published as The Proceedings of the Midwest Prairie Conference (1972-1978) and most recently (1980-date) under the title Proceedings of the North American Prairie Conference. From their inception, the prairie conferences attracted faculty, students and hands-on practitioners engaged in basic research about prairies and their successful management and restoration. Each volume is a collection of articles on topics ranging from prairie ecology and community structure, plant and animal populations, species accounts, propagation, vegetational history, and management techniques.
