Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER)/KNZ015: Vegetation Species Composition at Konza Prairie Research Natural Area (KPRNA)
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
LTER - Long-Term Ecological Research Program/Konza Prairie (KNZ) LTER/KNZ015 [Summary adapted from the LTER Core Data Set Catalog]: Canopy coverage and frequency were recorded in 20 circular 10 sq m plots.
Description
Six treatments were sampled, three ungrazed and three to grazed by native grazers. In each case one of the three watersheds was unburned, another burned annually in April, the third burned every four years in April.
In each treatment two soils were sampled: a lower-slope deep fertile non-rocky soil (tully silty clay loam), and a shallow rocky soil (florence cherty silt loam) on level to gently sloping ridges. In 1983 another ungrazed annual burn area (1c) was added (both tully and florence soils) because original area (1d) appeared aberrant. 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.
