		The unmistakable contours of the Palouse landscape is the work of glaciers and the wind--the glaciers ground up granite rock, and the wind blew it to the Palouse.
		The first turning of the sod in the Palouse was very difficult because of the ancient grasses that grew there and their thick tangle of roots.
		Palouse farmers continue as innovators, developing no-till "direct seeding" techniques in which tilling, planting, fertilizing, and cultivation all take place in one pass of the equipment, a method improving efficiency and reducing erosion of the foundation of it all -- the rich Palouse soil.

	Palouse Ecological Plan
		In the Palouse, however, coyotes have taken over many predator niches formerly held by lions and bears, and coyotes have adapted fairly well to anthropogenic landscapes, so preserving their entire range may not be as critical.
		The recommendation for a Palouse reserve is to establish one large area immediately, about 1.1 million hectares, buffered doubly by rehabilitated fields and then by fallow agricultural land (1.3 million hectares), 3 areas of 3,000-10,000 hectares, and 22 satellite areas of 8-25 hectares, which would probably not be buffered.
		Furthermore, the population of the Palouse depends on the limiting factors of the earth, those scarcities which could be traded between the regional populations, and each regional population having a percentage of that ultimate limiting factor (maybe phosphorus or manganese); the percentage distribution to be determined by the regional productivity available for human consumption.

	PPF: Giant Palouse Earthworm (Driloleirus americanus)
		The giant Palouse earthworms live in the deep, rich soils of the Palouse bunchgrass prairies.
		Thick layers of organic matter that have accumulated in the soils of the Palouse for hundreds of years sustain the giants during the wetter seasons.
		Farmers that arrived in eastern Washington prized the fertile Palouse soils, resulting in the almost complete destruction of the bunchgrass prairies that characterized this region by the late 1800's.

		The sediment load of these rivers was augmented during the glaciations of the Pleistocene; glaciers grew and shrank in the Cascades to the west, British Columbia to the north, the Rockies to the east, and the Wallowa and Elkhorn Mountains to the southeast.
		The prevailing southwesterly winds transported silt from the Pasco Basin; the silt became the thick loess in the Palouse Hills.
		Buried soils in the Palouse Formation indicate that loess deposition was intermittent during the Quaternary (Busacca, 1991).
