Reflection of Field Notes from a Catastrophe Elizabeth Kolbert’s Field Notes from a Catastrophe was my first in-depth look into climate change‚ global warming‚ and the contribution of humans to these things. Global warming was something I vaguely knew about before reading this book‚ but it never really caught my attention or seemed like a major issue in the world.

Did you know that Grasslands are found on every continent except Antarctica? Grass lands first during the Eocene Era. Grasslands supported the development of communities of gazers that are the grassy plains on our planet. There are about 11‚000 species of grass and each one adapted for survival to survive in the environmental conditions. About a quarter of our vegetation consists of grasses‚ and some grow under very difficult conditions because of the climate in the grasslands. Grasses also developed

of the old flower. The common name cranesbill comes from the shape of the unsprung column‚ which in some species is long and looks like the bill of a crane. Many species in this genus do not have a long beak-like column. Geraniums are eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including brown-tail and mouse moth. The species Geranium viscosissimum is considered to be
