CALL FOR PAPERS

SPECIAL ISSUE

Changing Prairie Landscapes: A New Millennium.

 

Prairie Forum is pleased to announce that it will be publishing a special millennium issue in the spring of 2000, under the title Changing Prairie Landscapes: A New Millennium. We are inviting you to contribute to this important publication, which will focus on the variety of changes that have affected the North American Prairies in the past 100 years.

We intend to address questions concerning the structures and mechanisms which have shaped the physical and social environment of the prairies, and hope to make for the new millennium informed predictions based on past patterns. Using a top-down approach we will concentrate on one overarching theme, while encouraging many disciplines to participate: ecology, climatology, resource management, social sciences, etc.

The theme of this special issue is the extent to which there has been ecological/social change or conservatism within the prairie region as a whole. Among the questions we wish to address are: How long have specific types of ecological and social landscapes persisted? Which structures, units or systems remain stable, and which ones have changed? How have interactions within structures in past landscapes been similar to or different from those of today? Have new units or functions developed or changed, and if so, have they changed the overall structure of a landscape?

As this is a special issue, we will allow a limited number of color plates or figures to enhance your presentation. Timelines for this project will necessarily be short. To go to press in mid-March 2000 we will need your manuscript by November at the latest. Thus, there is a manuscript deadline - November 1, 1999. This will allow us to get manuscripts to the reviewers and forward them potential revisions by early January. We will then need revised manuscripts back by mid February so that we may typeset the issue for publication.

 

If we can provide any more information concerning this issue, please feel free to contact us.
