This small grassland is a remnant of the once-vast prairies of the West that early European explorers and settlers described as seas of grass. Agricultural land use and urban expansion during the past two centuries have fragmented and altered these prairies. All that remains today are small islands. These remnants cannot support some of the larger animals that once roamed the prairie, but they continue to support a diverse array of plant. 606 $aPrairie ecology$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01074601 606 $aNatural history$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01034268 606 $aPrairie ecology$zColorado$xFort Collins Region$2bisacsh 606 $aNatural history$zColorado$zFort Collins Region 606 $aPrairie ecology$zFort Collins Region$zColorado 607 $aColorado$zFort Collins Region$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPrairie ecology. 615 0$aNatural history. 615 10$aPrairie ecology$xFort Collins Region. 615 0$aNatural history 615 0$aPrairie ecology 676 $a577.4/40978868 700 $aWohl$b Ellen E$01071126 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456936703321 996 $aIsland of Grass$92565881 997 $aUNINA
