Abstract
Effects of Prescribed Fire Timing on Native Plant Composition, Forage Biomass Accumulation, and Root Carbohydrate Reserves in the Kansas Flint Hills: Year 2 of 6
Highlights
The Kansas Flint Hills represent the largest intact remnant of the original tallgrass prairie on earth
Objective: The objective was to document the effects of prescribed fire timing on native plant composition, forage biomass, and root carbohydrate concentrations in key native tallgrass species in the Kansas Flint Hills
The Bottom Line: Data from the first two years of a six-year study were interpreted to indicate that basal cover of forage grasses and forbs, forage biomass accumulation, and root carbohydrate concentrations in key tallgrass species did not differ between prescribed-fire treatments
Summary
The Kansas Flint Hills represent the largest intact remnant of the original tallgrass prairie on earth.
