There are more than 300 species of native California grasses and they are found in almost every climate-from cool, wet forests to hot, dry deserts. Native grasses are also important to land restoration as they improve soil quality, increase water infiltration, and recycle nutrients. Their deep roots can tap soil water, which allows them to stay green year-round and to act as fire buffers around residences. Native grasses also provide vital habitat for many species of insects, birds, reptiles, and mammals. Despite their importance, grasslands remain one of the most under protected of California's vegetation types, and native grasslands have undergone the greatest percentage loss of any habitat type in the state. Grasses are also among the most difficult plants to identify. Organized alphabetically, Field Guide to Grasses of California covers common native and naturalized grasses and, to help identify them, also features over 180 color illustrations.California natural history guides ;Number 110.GrassesCaliforniaIdentificationamerica.biological sciences.biologists.california grasses.california.color illustrations.conservationists.field guide.gardeners.grass habitats.grass species.grasses.grasslands.grassroots.habitat loss.land restoration.native grasses.natural history.naturalized grasses.nonfiction.nutrient cycle.plant identification.plant scientists.reference guide.regional grasses.scientists.soil quality.soil water.vegetation.water infiltration.wilderness.Grasses584/.74Smith James P(James Payne),1941-1560553Simpson KathyMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786699403321Field guide to grasses of California3826636UNINA01765oam 2200505I 450 991016282400332120230810001829.01-315-31696-X1-315-31695-11-315-31694-310.4324/9781315316963 (CKB)3710000001033073(MiAaPQ)EBC4790082(OCoLC)970041764(EXLCZ)99371000000103307320180706e20171983 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierBritish economists and the empire /John Cunningham WoodAbingdon, Oxon :Routledge,2017.1 online resource (322 pages)Routledge Library Editions : The History of Economic Thought ;Volume 13First published in 1983 by Croom Helm Ltd.1-138-23074-X 1-138-23071-5 Includes bibliographical references and index.section 1.
