CALL FOR PAPERS - PRAIRIE FORUM SPECIAL ISSUE
Changing Prairie Landscapes: A New Millennium.

Prairie Forum, an interdisciplinary peer reviewed journal and has for
the last
25 years published manuscripts concerning the Northern Prairies.

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 contributions 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.
