Body

Herbage production the first season after burning was 2,110 lbs. per acre, as compared to 772 lbs. on unburned areas. Burned areas maintained high productivity of grasses and forbs the second year. Dead material comprised about 90% of the total herbage for stands unburned for 25 years, but only 19% on burned stands. This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries. The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
