Description
INTRODUCTION Loess hill prairies are prominent features of the Illinois, Mississippi, and Sangamon river bluffs. Due to their presence on steep terrain, they were not converted to row crop agriculture like loam soil prairies. Some hill prairies are currently regarded among the highest quality prairie remnants in Illinois. Despite these features, few studies were completed on hill prairies in Illinois during the early 1900s. The classic publication "Hill Prairies of Illinois" by R. A. Evers (1955) brought widespread recognition to these hillside grasslands.
