USDA Forest Service OBJECTIVES What are the major vegetation types that have occurred in Illinois and how have they changed since the last ice age and more specifically since European-Americans settled the region? Ecological factors influencing trends, composition, and diversity in prairie, savanna, open woodland, and forest communities are examined. Historical and contemporary changes will be explored with reference to the proportion and characteristics of habitats remaining in a relatively undegraded condition. While Illinois is a focus for this chapter, the processes and factors explaining vegetational variation have relevance to the entire Midwest and in many cases beyond.

  • The Grand Prairie
    A PUBLICATION OF OPENLANDS VOLUME 26–No. 1, SPRING/SUMMER 2021 The Grand Prairie There are very few written accounts of the Grand Prairie from which Illinois gets its nickname, “The Prairie State,” and even fewer in art. An elusive landscape to most 19 th century artists, prairies lacked the traditional composition elements artists relied on at the time, such as trees to frame the foreground or mountains in the background. The artists moved on to capture the Rockies, Yosemite, and the great American West. In 1820, Illinois had 22 million acres of prairie, roughly two thirds of the state. By 1900, most of Illinois‘ prairies were gone. The movement of four glaciers gave rise to the prairie ecosystems of Illinois. of motivated individuals and nonprofit and governmental organizations, even When early settlers discovered the prairie’s rich soil, they quickly converted a those fragments would be gone. majority of the state to farmland. Through the bounty of nature, Chicago — Philip Juras, Picturing the Prairie: A Vision of Restoration became a great metropolis. By 1978, fewer than 2,300 acres — roughly three and a half square miles—of original prairie remained in the entire state. Goose Lake Prairie is the largest remnant tallgrass prairie east of the Mississippi Of those undisturbed prairie sites, known as remnant prairie, most are along River. Like much of the original prairie in the state, Goose Lake Prairie was sculpted railroad rights-of-way, in pioneer-era cemeteries, and in places that were not by glaciers. The area was part of a continuous grassland that stretched from suitable for farming.

July 1997- June 1998. Introduction Sampling for prairie arthropods for fiscal 1997-98 focused on four nature preserves in Mason Co., Illinois: Long Branch Sand Prairie, Matanzas Prairie, Sand Prairie - Scrub Oak Nature Preserve, and Revis Hill Prairie. Long Branch comprises 93 acres of sand prairie dominated by prickly pear, Opuntia compressa, and the grasses Eragrostistrichodes, Schizachyrium scoparium, and Calamovilfa longifolia, and is typical of the Illinois River Sand Areas. Management has been largely restricted to the cutting of planted pine trees and limited burning. Sampling was conducted in a restored area near the south end that was burned in Spring 1997 and and extensive unburned native prairie at the north end of the preserve. Matanzas Prairie is a high quality wet prairie comprising 27.6 acres and dominated by Calamagrostiscanadensis, Spartina pectinata, and Andropogon gerardii.

  • Lower Sangamon River Valley an Inventory of the Region’S Resources About This Report
    LOWER SANGAMON RIVER VALLEY AN INVENTORY OF THE REGION’S RESOURCES ABOUT THIS REPORT Lower Sangamon River Valley: An Inventory of the Region’s Resources is a product of the Critical Trends Assessment Program (CTAP) and the Ecosystems Program of the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). Both are funded largely through Conservation 2000, a State of Illinois program to enhance nature protection and outdoor recreation by reversing the decline of the state’s ecosystems. Conservation 2000 grew out of recommendations from the 1994 CTAP report, The Changing Illinois Environment, the 1994 Illinois Conservation Congress, and the 1993 Water Resources and Land Use Priorities Task Force Report. The Critical Trends report analyzed existing environmental, ecological, and economic data to estab- lish baseline conditions from which future changes might be measured. The report concluded that: • the emission and discharge of regulated pollutants over the past 20 years has declined in Illinois, in some cases dramatically; • existing data suggest that the condition of natural systems in Illinois is rapidly declining as a result of fragmentation and continued stress; • data designed to monitor compliance with environmental regulations or the status of individual species are not sufficient to assess ecological health statewide. The Illinois Conservation Congress and the Water Resources and Land Use Priorities Task Force came to broadly similar conclusions. For example, the Conservation Congress concluded that better stewardship of the state’s land and water resources could be achieved by managing them on an ecosys- tem basis. Traditional management and assessment practices focus primarily on the protection of rela- tively small tracts of land (usually under public ownership) and the cultivation of single species (usual- ly game animals or rare and endangered plants and animals).
