Texas Blackland Prairie restoration on old-field vegetation using seeding, mowing, and burning

This study compares degraded old-field grass-dominated pasture response to over-seeding with native tallgrass prairie species with the management practices of burning, mowing and a no-treatment control. Treatments were randomly allocated in a 2 × 3 factorial design with at least six replicate 40 m ×...

Description
Summary:This study compares degraded old-field grass-dominated pasture response to over-seeding with native tallgrass prairie species with the management practices of burning, mowing and a no-treatment control. Treatments were randomly allocated in a 2 × 3 factorial design with at least six replicate 40 m × 40 m plots. In the third year after treatment species richness increased for seeded vs. unseeded plots (18.9 vs. 14.4 species per plot; p
