Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER)/KNZ014: Reproductive Effort of Dominant Grasses at Konza Prairie Research Natural Area (KPRNA)

LTER - Long-Term Ecological Research Program/Konza Prairie (KNZ)

LTER/KNZ014 [Summary adapted from the LTER Core Data Set Catalog]:

This data set contains estimates of flowering stem height (m), density
(no. per sq. m) and production (grams per sq. m) and total seed
weight (grams) and production (grams per sq. m) for big bluestem,
indiangrass and little bluestem on 2 soil types (shallow and deep)
with 6 burn-grazing treatment combinations. Sampling done once a year
in October (end of growing season). (Sampling design slightly altered
from pre01.)

The Konza Prairie Research Natural Area (KPRNA) is a representative of
native tallgrasss prairie in the Flint Hills of eastern Kansas. The
Konza Prairie was established as a research facility in 1972 and now
contains 3,487 ha. The land was acquired by the Nature Conservancy
and is leased to the Division of Biology at Kansas State University
for research purposes.
