Louisiana Conservation Review, Vol. 4: January, 1935 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Louisiana Conservation Review, Vol. 4: January, 1935

Man has also been responsible for the present distribution of plants, to a certain extent. When Louisiana was first settled, he brought in plants for food and ornamental purposes. He is also re sponsible for the destruction of many plants. The stately forests of pine have been destroyed and with them many beautiful wild flowers which grew under the trees. The annual burning of the fields and drainage of swamps have contributed to the destruction of some plants. However, many noxious weeds have been introduced which thrive in cultivated fields and waste places.
