12 Seiten, Heft

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Texas is a marvel of biodiversity, with a rich array of landforms, ecosystems, and species. The warm climate that supports this tremendous variety of life is also suitable for numerous non-native invasive animals, all of which have detrimental ecological and economic impacts in the Lone Star State and beyond. Wild Boars cause millions of dollars of destruction each year, while Emerald Ash Borers are decimating populations of ash trees. A key component of effective invasive species management is having a well-educated public with a solid foundation of knowledge about the most prominent species and their impacts. This essential reference is beautifully illustrated and profiles 40 of the most familiar invasive species living in Texas. Laminated for durability, our lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is a terrific resource for educators, learners, naturalists, citizen scientists, and homeowners who wish to do their part to stop the spread of invasive species and uphold ecological integrity. Made in the USA.
