About the Collection

Bernstein, Neil P.; Ostrander, Laura J., Editor
Proceedings of the ...Conference : seeds for the future, roots of the past

First issued in 1970 as Symposium on Prairie and Prairie Restoration, the proceedings from these biennial conferences were subsequently published as The Proceedings of the Midwest Prairie Conference (1972-1978) and most recently (1980-date) under the title Proceedings of the North American Prairie Conference. From their inception, the prairie conferences attracted faculty, students and hands-on practitioners engaged in basic research about prairies and their successful management and restoration. Each volume is a collection of articles on topics ranging from prairie ecology and community structure, plant and animal populations, species accounts, propagation, vegetational history, and management techniques.

Technical Note

Please note that full-text searching for the electronic-facsimile texts in our collections is based on uncorrected OCR (Optical Character Recognition) results. While such text is often highly accurate, it will contain errors that may affect your search results. In particular, texts with the following characteristics are particularly prone to error (in some cases, accuracy for such texts is so low that we have decided not to attempt to provide full-text searching):

• Hand-written texts;
• Texts that contain diacritics;
• Texts that contain non-Latin scripts;
• Texts that contain obsolete characters (including the "long S" [looks like an "f"]);
• Texts that are printed in a font in which the letters are difficult for the software to differentiate.
