When Is a Restoration Successful? Results from a 45-Year-Old Tallgrass Prairie Restoration
Restoration ecology had its genesis in the 1930s as Midwestern ecologists came to the realization that nearly all the tallgrass prairie in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin had been converted to agricultural or urban land uses (Curtis and Greene 1949, Critical Trends Assessment Project 1994, Smith 1998). While calls for preservation of remaining prairie in Iowa began by 1919 (Smith 1998), the pione...
متن کاملDevelopment of soil microbial communities during tallgrass prairie restoration
Soilmicrobial communitieswere examined in a chronosequence of fourdifferent land-use treatments at the Konza Prairie Biological Station, Kansas. The time series comprised a conventionally tilled cropland (CTC) developed on former prairie soils, two restored grasslands thatwere initiated on former agricultural soils in 1998 (RG98) and 1978 (RG78), and an annually burned native tallgrass prairie ...

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 کاملVegetation Dynamics from Annually Burning Tallgrass Prairie in Different Seasons
Traditional perception of how tallgrass prairie responds to fire at times other than late spring is either anecdotal or extrapolated from studies that lack spatial or temporal variability. Therefore, we evaluated patterns of change in vegetation cover, species richness, diversity, and aboveground biomass production on 2 different topographic positions from ungrazed watersheds that were burned a...
