متن کاملEffects of Late Summer Fire on Tallgrass Prairie Microclimate and Community Composition
WO tallgrass prairie sites with different grazing histories and fuel accumulation were burned to investigate vegetation response to wild fires of differing intensity. Headfires were ignited 5 September 1985 under wildfire weather conditions (37 C air temperature, 36% relative humidity and wind gusts to 40 km/h). One of the burned plots had not been grazed for the past 3 years and had 1000 g/m2 ...
متن کاملSentinel nematodes of land-use change and restoration in tallgrass prairie.
Changes in land use and the associated changes in land cover are recognized as the most important component of human-induced global change. Much attention has been focused on deforestation, but grasslands are among the most endangered ecosystems on Earth. The North American tallgrass prairie is a dramatic example, exhibiting a greater than 95% decline in historical area. Renewed interest in pra...
متن کاملTallgrass Prairie: Remnants and Relicts
The tallgrass prairie once was continuous throughout the eastern Great Plains. Now, scattered remnants remain. The distribution of some of the most interesting and socially valuable remnants occur along the base of the Rocky Mountains as relicts from a past era. When the species composition of these Colorado grasslands is compared with that of the eastern tallgrass prairie by an index of simila...
متن کاملRelationships among land use, soil texture, species richness, and soil carbon in Midwestern tallgrass prairie, CRP and crop lands
Accumulation of soil carbon (C) in ecosystems could help mitigate climate change, particularly in agricultural landscapes, but accumulation rates are thought to depend on land cover and management practices. To uncover relationships between soil properties and vegetation management strategies in the Midwestern USA, we examined soil C and nitrogen (N) content on lands under five management types...
