Event Summary:
Learn how to maintain prairie diversity.

Event Description:
Dr. Carly Aulicky, the North Texas Director of Outreach and Stewardship of NPAT, will speak on “Prairie Plants and Invasives”

Prairie ecosystems are adapted to grazing and fire, and these disturbance events are necessary to prevent prairies from becoming woodland and help maintain prairie biodiversity. With agricultural conversion and urban expansion, much of North America’s prairies have been lost and many remain in fragments. This has changed disturbance regimes in prairie ecosystems, often removing disturbance events required to maintain diverse prairies. Removal of disturbance and the changing land use around prairies can leave them vulnerable to invasive species establishment. Can a balance be found between maintaining prairie biodiversity and controlling invasive species in a changing landscape and climate?
