The Inner Workings of Vegetative Diversity: Monocots, Dicots & Beyond by Taylor Garrison – Aug 1 | 6:30p
It has long been known that healthy ecosystems thrive from and by diversity. The needs of wildlife include food, water, and shelter. Plants provide all three. But to take it further, there are specifics in the relationships between which types of plants, what other living things rely on or interact with plants, and the arrangement of plants that can affect the ecological health of an area. The fun part? The “area” can be your ¼ acre pocket prairie or a 10,000-acre ranch or preserve. The tools are all the same in interpreting and managing a prairie regardless of size. The recipe though can be different. This presentation will broadly cover what prairies area, what they need to function, the importance of monocots (aka grasses and such), forb diversity and their importance, woody species (the good, bad, and ugly), and lastly genetics of prairie plant species and we can help.
