The Natural History of Southern Appalachia

Natural History of Southern Appalachia

Southern Appalachian Studies: The Natural History of Southern Appalachia

This multi-part series, hosted by Blount County Public Library, will emphasize the history and natural beauty of Southern Appalachia, with programs on its natural history, indigenous peoples, European immigration, and resultant culture and social history.

The first speaker, Dr. Paul Threadgill, Professor of Biology at Maryville College, will cover The Natural History of Southern Appalachia on Monday, February 29, 2016 in Dorothy Herron Room A OR in the Main Gallery.

Dr. Paul ThreadgillThe Southern Appalachians are ancient mountains, says Threadgill. Their rugged topography, favorable climate, and abundant fresh water provide a multitude of habitats which support a rich diversity of living organisms. Over the years successive groups of people have called the southern Appalachians home.

This presentation will offer a brief overview of the natural history of the southern Appalachians, touching on their underlying geology, climate, soils, water resources, and biological communities, with a focus on east Tennessee.
