Description

Moist-soil wetlands are seasonally flooded areas that produce early-succession plant communities of grasses, sedges, and other herbaceous plants. Moist-soil wetland plants provide food and cover for a diversity of flora and fauna species, including waterfowl and other waterbirds. Thus, conservation and management of moist-soil plants has grow to be a big component to flora and fauna conservation efforts within the Mississippi Alluvial Valley and somewhere else in North The us. The authors combined their extensive experience working in managed and unmanaged wetlands from southern Missouri to southern Louisiana to produce this beautifully-illustrated identification guide. A detailed, yet user friendly field guide to identify moist-soil plants of the Mississippi Alluvial Valley has not been to be had until now.

Management to encourage the growth of moist-soil plants is a common conservation strategy used by state, federal, and private landowners to increase food and cover for flora and fauna. Thus, landowners should be capable to identify moist-soil plants to meet their flora and fauna conservation goals. Landowners, scientists, flora and fauna biologists, and students alike will welcome this useful resource which includes 600 detailed color photographs of plants, images of seeds and tubers, and other helpful information to aid in identification. The book includes subsections of major plant groups occurring in moist-soil wetlands including aquatics, grasses, broadleaves, sedges and rushes, trees and shrubs, vines, and agricultural crops.
