Abstract

QOME sites on mixed prairies near Hays, Kansas are dominated by short grasses while others may be controlled by mid or tall grasses depending upon some combination of variations in topography, soil type, soil moisture, and degree of utilization. However, short, mid and tall grasses often form an upper and lower story on the same site. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the effect of different grazing intensities during past years on cover, composition and yield of vegetation on three sites. These sites were all on shallow soils and have been designated as ridgeline, hillside and rocky break, aceording to their topographical location. This basic information may be helpful in classifying range condition in this part of the mixed prairie.
