Une multitude de termes désigne les espaces pâturés selon la variété de leur type et de leur utilisation : simples pâtures communes qui nourrissent chichement les moutons du village, prés appropriés fournissant un peu de foin, grasses prairies de bords de rivières donnant deux fenaisons par an, prairies encloses, labourées et mises en culture périodiquement pour les renouveler, et qui constituent la pièce « glorieuse » du domaine selon Olivier de Serres… Retenons enfin le rôle fondamental des prairies artificielles, à l’origine pour certains d’une véritable « révolution agricole ». Cette variété, dans l’espace et le temps long, fait l’intérêt de cet ouvrage qui replace la nourriture du bétail à sa vraie place dans l’agriculture traditionnelle : la première. Si le bonheur n’est pas dans le pré, la richesse s’y construit, comme l’ont montré les historiens, archéologues et ethnologues qui en ont approfondi l’étude.

Since the publication of the first edition of Grasses: Bromus to Paspalum in 1972, twenty-two additional taxa of grasses have been discovered in Illinois that are properly placed in this volume. In addition, nu­merous nomenclatural changes have occurred for plants previously discovered, and many distributional records have been added. New keys have been pre­pared for each genus where additional species from Illinois are known. For new species, full-page illustra­tions are provided. This second edition updates the status of Illinois grasses. The book features 263 fig­

A vast swath of prairie situated between the Missouri River and the Rocky Mountains, the North American Great Plains extend across ten states in the United States and three provinces in Canada. The dominant vegetation is grass-both the native species that have long thrived here and the cultivated crops such as corn, wheat, and sorghum that are the result of human agricultural activity. This comprehensive guide, written by three grass specialists, is an invaluable tool for identification of the approximately 450 species of grasses that occur on the Great Plains. In each description, the authors cover distribution, habitat, forage value, and toxicity and include a detailed black-and-white illustration of the grass as well as a range map. Intended as a reference for landowners, rangeland specialists, students, state and federal agency professionals, and nongovernment conservation organizations, Grasses of the Great Plains will serve a wide audience of users involved in and dedicated to grassland management.
