Best known for its cactusstudded deserts and the aweinspiring Grand Canyon, Arizona boasts even more natural features that surprise visitors and continue to amaze longtime residents. Using C. H. Merriams turnofthetwentiethcentury descriptions of Arizonas life zones, Charles Lowe first defined those biotic communities in his 1964 book Arizonas Natural Environment. Now ten experts on Arizonas natural setting build on that classic to reflect our increased knowledge of basic physical and biological processes and the impact of both natural and manmade disturbances on these environments.Natural Environments of Arizona bridges the gap between coffeetable volumes and scientific literature, offering a nontechnical, singlevolume overview that introduces readers to a myriad of topics and provides pointers toward deeper reading. Its all here: climate, geology, soil and water resources, an amazing variety of flora and faunaand of course human impacts on the states fragile ecosystems.These chapters show the extent to which Arizonas natural environments have changed since Lowe first set the stage for their study. They consider changes in forests and grasslands, the effects of soil erosion, questions about water quality, and the evolving status of rivers and wildlife communities. And while the common thread of environments makes the book a complete introduction to the subject, each chapter stands alone as an authoritative synopsis of its particular topic.Ranging widely over the impacts of drought, floods, and wildfires, this practical guide clearly shows that nature is more than picturesque landscapes, vegetation, and wildlife. For anyone with a dogeared copy of Lowe, this book will serve as the new standard on the subjecta valuable tool for resource managers, students, and general readers alike.
