Title: Fire season and dominance in an Illinois tallgrass prairie restoration: Journal: Restoration Ecology; Authors: T. E. Copeland, W. Sluis, and H. F. Howe; Date: 2002; Summary: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that late growing-season fire causes a short-term increase in frequency and species richness of subdominant and rare species in a warm-season tallgrass prairie ecosystem. The study area was located in Goose Lake Prairie State Natural Area in the Grand Prairie Division of northeastern Illinois within the 3-ha Prairie Grove which was planted in 1976. Twelve 10 x 10-m plots were arranged in a 3 x 4 grid and separated by a 10-m mowed fire lane. Spring and summer burns were systematically induced in a checkerboard pattern across the grid during ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Fire ecology, Rangelands, Species Diversity; View more details about this article
