摘要

The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) of the United States (Fig. 1) stretches from the tallgrass prairies of northern Iowa and western Minnesota, across the mixed-gi'ass prairies of North Dakota and South Dakota, and northwest toward the dry mixed-grass prairies of Montana. This region received its name for the millions of depressional wetlands, or "potholes," created by retreating glaciers following the end of the Wisconsin glacial period about 10,000 years ago.1 Historically, wedands and grasslands of the PPR supported a plethora of biota, but are most notable for producing a significant portion of North America's waterfowl. The PPR occupies only about 10% of the waterfowl breeding range, yet accounts for approximately 50—80% of annual production.2'3Grasslands and wetlands of the PPR also provide significant habitat for other grassland-dependent wildlife, particularly grassland songbirds, of which several species are endemic to the region, and most species have shown steep population declines in recent decades.4 The PPR grasslands and wetlands are among the most altered and least protected major habitats in North America.
