Grasses and Grassland Ecology

An accomplished textbook that offers readers a carefully crafted, well-structured, and very readable expose of grasslands, their significance, function, and management. Gibson covers a very broad suite of subject material, which I consider one of this work's major strengths. There is great deal to like about this book. I would gladly recommend it to any student, landholder, policymaker, or restorationist whose interest or passions are drawn to the beauty of grasslands. * The Quarterly Review of Biology * The scope of this book is considerable and the author is to be congratulated on his synthesis...This is a useful and welcome addition to an grassland library, bridging the gap between ecology texts and more agriculturally focused grassland science texts. * Grass and Forage Science *
