Abstract

Abstract The overarching goal of the Konza Prairie Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program is to understand pattern and process in tallgrass prairie ecosystems. The conceptual framework guiding this research program is that fire, grazing, and climatic variability are essential and interacting factors responsible for the structure and function of tallgrass prairie. Collectively, the chapters in this volume describe more than 15 years of research on Konza Prairie devoted to understanding how these essential factors affect this complex, variable, and sometimes baffling ecosystem.
