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

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

Description

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.
