An accessible reference to the grasses and grazers of this region, Veronica Roodt's book details the fascinating ways in which these plants and animals have evolved together. The book covers: Some 100 grass species (includes sketches and photographs of each species) that are preferred livestock and wild game fodder and that serve as indicators of veld condition; The role of grasses in the food chain; Grass anatomy and growth; How grazers have evolved to survive on grasses, both physically and in terms of their behaviour; Significant grazers that occur in the region and that play a vital role in shaping the Savanna biome, and effective grassland management practices. Nature lovers, farmers, students and tourists who seek an in-depth look at the interactions between grasses and the grazers that depend on them for life need look no further than this invaluable guide.
