Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book showcases the results of a comprehensive study on the environment and ecology of Mesa Verde National Park, an area in southwestern Colorado rich in archeological sites that were once home to the Ancestral Puebloans. It combines environmental data collected from 1961 to 1963 at six stands representing different elevations and types of vegetation with soil studies and analysis of the dominant plant species in each. The author, an ecologist involved in the study, provides a detailed overview of the climate, geology, vegetation, and soils in various parts of Mesa Verde. He discusses the influence of environmental factors on the distribution and growth of plant communities and explores the relationship between prehistoric human activities and the vegetation patterns. The book also examines the impact of natural factors like lightning-induced fires on the area's vegetation. Through meticulous data analysis and clear explanations, this book not only contributes to our understanding of Mesa Verde's environment but also offers insights into the broader field of human ecology. It highlights the importance of considering environmental factors when studying human history and provides valuable information for future research and conservation efforts in similar environments.
