摘要

The term prairie readily conjures up an image of the vast seas of tall, short, or mixed grasses that historically occupied the heartland of the United States. But tongues of grassland also penetrated parts of Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Botanist Edward N. Transeau coined the term prairie peninsula for such tongues, small patches of which persist even within the eastern deciduous forest (see "Buffalo Beats, Ohio," Natural History, December 1991). Having lived all my life in southern Illinois, I have long been familiar with such prairie remnants, but I learned only two years ago that a tall-grass prairie may have existed in parts of Tennessee. A remnant, called May Prairie (after a member of the family that formerly owned the land), lies in the outskirts of Manchester, some sixty miles southeast of Nashville.

Transeau)创造了“草原半岛”一词,意为这种舌头,即使在东部的落叶森林内,舌头上仍会出现小片斑点(请参阅《自然史》,俄亥俄州,布法罗·Beats,1991年12月)。我一生都住在伊利诺伊州南部,对这种残余草原很早就熟悉了,但是仅两年前,我才知道田纳西州的部分地区可能存在高草草原。一块名叫五月草原(May Prairie)的残余物(原属于该土地的家庭成员)位于曼彻斯特郊区,位于纳什维尔东南约60英里处。
