GRASSLANDS TO BADLANDS? RECENT LANDSCAPE CHANGES IN BIG BEND NATIONAL PARK Endless miles of grassland greeted the early settlers in the area that was to become Big Bend National Park. Crossing the long open stretch of the Tornillo Flats, it is hard to believe that this broad valley once held verdant grasslands that grew "knee-deep to a horse" and were harvested as hay for livestock. A century later, the large expanses of native grasslands are gone. gsa.confex.com /gsa/2002SC/finalprogram/abstract_33125.htm

Garamba National Park The park's immense savannahs, grasslands and woodlands, interspersed with gallery forests along the river banks and the swampy depressions, are home to four large mammals: the elephant, giraffe, hippopotamus and above all the white rhinoceros. The Park was inscribed on the List of the World Heritage in Danger for the first time in the period from 1984 to 1992 due to a serious decline in population of the white rhinoceros. As a result of actions undertaken by the World Heritage Committee, IUCN, WWF, the Frankfort Zoological Society, and the national authorities, the rhino population made a recovery from a meagre five individuals to around thirty-five animals, and the site was removed from the Danger List at the 16th session of the Committee. www.unesco.org /whc/sites/136.htm

Ecology: Ungulate vs. landscape control of soil C and N processes in grasslands of Yellowstone National Park The goal of this study was to examine how large herbivores and landscape factors affect soil C and N dynamics in grasslands of Yellowstone National Park. We compared landscape and grazer effects by measuring soil dynamics inside and outside 33-37 yr old exclosures at seven topographically diverse sites that were located along a temperature and moisture gradient in grassland of Yellowstone National Park. Both climatic and topoedaphic gradients in grasslands are associated with patterns of plant production, leaf chemistry, and plant species distributions, all of which can strongly feed back on local C and N processes (Burke 1989, Schimel 1985b, Schlesinger et al. www.findarticles.com /cf_dls/m2120/n7_v79/21231372/p1/article.jhtml
