Coming in December 2022, Tending Iowa’s Land is a book on nature in the Midwest.<\/p>\n

In the last 200 years, Iowa\u2019s prairies and other wildlands have been transformed into vast agricultural fields. This massive conversion has provided us with food, fiber, and fuel in abundance. But it has also robbed Iowa\u2019s land of its native resilience and created the environmental problems that today challenge our everyday lives: polluted waters, increasing floods, loss and degradation of rich prairie topsoil, compromised natural systems, and now climate change.<\/p>\n

In a straightforward, friendly style, Iowa\u2019s premier scientists and experts consider what has happened to our land and outline viable solutions that benefit agriculture as well as the state\u2019s human and wild residents.<\/p>\n
