Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the multi-disciplinary 1895 establishment of the United States Department of Agriculture's Division of Agrostology, tasked with investigating the then-critical forage problems in America's semi-arid grazing lands. The author presents historical perspectives, contextual…izing the division's efforts within the westward expansion and the prevailing scientific understanding of the time. The book delves into the division's field work, exploring the methods and findings of agrostologists as they sought to understand native grasses, identify valuable species, and develop strategies for improving forage conditions. It highlights the division's central role in raising awareness about overgrazing and erosion, and its pioneering efforts in introducing and cultivating new forage plants. This book offers a valuable resource for those interested in the history of agriculture, environmental conservation, and the development of scientific knowledge in the American West.
