Title: Harvest frequency and burning effects on vigor of native grasses: Journal: Journal of Range Management; Authors: G. J. Cuomo, B. E. Anderson, and L. J. Young; Date: 1998; Summary: Harvest frequency decreased plant vigor of 3 tallgrass prairie species in Nebraska after only a single year. Big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) was the most vigorous, and Indiangrass the least, but Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans) was also the least affected by treatments (after 3 harvests it produced 84% of control biomass compared with 45% for the other 2). Plant vigor was similar between plants harvested once and plants harvested twice, when coupled with a rest period. Burning and interactions of burn date and harvests effected some measures of pl ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article

Title: Tallgrass prairie response to grazing system and stocking rate: Journal: Journal of Range Management; Authors: R. L. Gillen, F. T. McCollum, K. W. Tate, and M. E. Hodges; Date: 1998; Summary: Gillen et al. measured relative composition and standing crop in plots grazed continuously or in a rotational grazing system, at varying stocking rates in north-central Oklahoma. Vegetation response to grazing system was minimal, and differences between systems were diminished after 5 years. Shortgrass was effected by grazing system (increasing in continuos except under severe stocking rates), but was a minor component in species composition, and its standing crop also became similar between systems over time. Standing crop of little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) r ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article

Title: Harvest frequency and burning effects on mono-cultures of 3 warm-season grasses: Journal: Journal of Range Management; Authors: G. J. Cuomo, B. E. Anderson, L. J. Young, and W. W. Wilhelm; Date: 1996; Summary: Harvest frequency and interaction with burn date affected growing season yield of 3 tallgrass prairie species in Nebraska. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) was the most tolerant, increasing or unchanged under all harvest frequencies, while big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) declined for all harvest frequencies, and Indiangrass (Sorghastrum nutans) declined only at a frequency of 3 harvests. Yields were reduced by harvest in unburned or burned in March plots compared to multiple harvests on plots burned after spring plant growth bega ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article
