This guide covers the entire spectrum of grasses, from weedy invaders to rare native species. It shows how grasses are valued for habitat restoration in numerous environments—from wetlands to deserts, and from sea level to alpine. Field Guide to the Grasses of Oregon and Washington provides identification keys, species descriptions, photographs of each species (both in the field and through a microscope), habitats, and range maps. Users will especially appreciate the labeled macrophotographs that illustrate hard-to-see diagnostic features.
Biologists, land managers, botanists, and consultants, as well as plant professionals, home gardeners, and amateur plant enthusiasts, will find this guide an indispensable reference for identifying all the grasses encountered in the diverse habitats of Oregon and Washington.
