Description:
Patch- burn grazing was developed as a grazing system to increase vegetation structural heterogeneity in managed grasslands of the central Great Plains. To evaluate this system in northern tallgrass prairie, we compared the structural response of vegetation following patch- burn grazing to that of continuous season- long grazing at two sites in eastern South Dakota.
