The Fourth Edition incorporates the revised Wetland Indicator Status classification of the National Wetland Plant List (June 2012); this replaces earlier lists developed by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and is the new standard to be used in wetland delineation studies. A Great Lakes Wetland Flora (Third Edition) is the only comprehensive field guide to the vascular plants found in the wetlands of the Upper Midwest-the plants of bogs, fens, swamps, marshes, wet meadows, and low prairie-plus the aquatic plants of lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. The Third Edition has been updated to incorporate conservation status changes and includes many new illustrations.The Flora's thoroughness, ease-of-use, and detailed drawings have made it a favorite reference with botanists, natural resource managers, environmental consultants, students, educators, or anyone simply wanting to learn more about these fascinating habitats. Contents* Complete coverage of aquatic and wetland plants of the Upper Midwest-Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, northern Illinois, and northern Indiana-with general applicability to surrounding areas (including the Dakotas, Iowa, Ohio and western Ontario).* Over 900 plant species in 114 plant families; each species described (including habitat and range information) and illustrated. * Descriptions of the major wetland types of the Great Lakes region.* Identification of plants of conservation concern in the region (state or federally endangered or threatened). Also included are U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wetland status indicators. * Alphabetically arranged by plant family within four major plant groups-Ferns and Fern Allies, Conifers, Dicots, and Monocots-for quickly finding and identifying plants.* Easy-to-use keys to each plant family, genus, and species.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe importance of biodiversity in the Great Lakes watershed cannot be overemphasized. The thousands of kinds of plants and animals that live in the lakes' habitats affect the health of the lakes, just as the lakes' health affects the wildlife. Readers learn about the many habitats of the Great Lakes region and conservation efforts that continue to restore and protect them. Full-color photographs accompany in-depth profiles of plants and animals, such as the Canada goose and brook trout, in the region. Sidebars introduce even more wildlife information, which augments the social studies and science curriculum students learn in the classroom.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNew York Times Bestseller Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize Winner of the J. Anthony Lukas Award "Nimbly splices together history, science, reporting and personal experiences into a taut and cautiously hopeful narrative.… Egan’s book is bursting with life (and yes, death)." —Robert Moor, New York Times Book Review The Great Lakes—Erie, Huron, Michigan, Ontario, and Superior—hold 20 percent of the world’s supply of surface fresh water and provide sustenance, work, and recreation for tens of millions of Americans. But they are under threat as never before, and their problems are spreading across the continent. The Death and Life of the Great Lakes is prize-winning reporter Dan Egan’s compulsively readable portrait of an ecological catastrophe happening right before our eyes, blending the epic story of the lakes with an examination of the perils they face and the ways we can restore and preserve them for generations to come.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNorth America's Great Lakes country has experienced centuries of upheaval. Its landscapes are utterly changed from what they were five hundred years ago. The region's superabundant fish and wildlife and its magnificent forests and prairies astonished European newcomers who called it an earthly paradise but then ushered in an era of disease, warfare, resource depletion, and land development that transformed it forever. The Once and Future Great Lakes Country is a history of environmental change in the Great Lakes region, looking as far back as the last ice age, and also reflecting on modern trajectories of change, many of them positive. John Riley chronicles how the region serves as a continental crossroads, one that experienced massive declines in its wildlife and native plants in the centuries after European contact, and has begun to see increased nature protection and re-wilding in recent decades. Yet climate change, globalization, invasive species, and urban sprawl are today exerting new pressures on the region’s ecology. Covering a vast geography encompassing two Canadian provinces and nine American states, The Once and Future Great Lakes Country provides both a detailed ecological history and a broad panorama of this vast region. It blends the voices of early visitors with the hopes of citizens now.
