Zumwalt Prairie Fire Grazing Ordination Data

This dataset was used to analyze the effects of prescribed fire, livestock grazing and ventenata cover on vegetation and soil surface characteristics in an experiment with four treatments: prescribed fire (BURN), livestock grazing (GRAZ), combined fire and grazing (BOTH), and no fire or grazing (CNTL). This experiment took place on a bunchgrass grassland in northeast Oregon, USA and spanned 14 years (2008 - 2021), with data collected in 5 of those years. Treatments were replicated four times. Burn treatments were applied on the landscape within blocks and grazing treatments were nested within the burned and unburned sections of each block. Prescribed fire was applied in two years (2006, 2016) and livestock grazing occurred annually. The data consists of species cover data, summarized by treatment and year for the purpose of ordination analysis.
