A study was made to determine some effects of competition for water on buffalo grass (Buchloe dactyloides (Nutt.) Engelm.). The primary objective of the investigation was to determine if effects of competition on buffalo grass, as determined in a...
A study was made of nineteen relict grassland areas scattered throughout the Great Plains. The study was made to determine basal cover, percentage composition and per cent frequency of the grass and sedge species, and also the soil texture present...
Big bluestem (Andropogon gerardi), side-oats grama (Bouteloua curtipendula) and blue grama (Bouteloua gracilis) represent a tall, mid and short grass type of vegetation respectively, and can typically be found growing in the mixed prairie. It was...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of natural growing conditions on carbohydrate reserves of roots, rhizomes, and crowns of big bluestem (Andropogon gerardi), little bluestem (A. scoparius), and side-oats grama (Bouteloua...
Salt cedar (Tamarix pentandra Pall .) is a phreatophyte which has created a major water conservation problem in the southwestern part of the United States. This plant has the ability to adapt to many different types of habitats. It may be found...
A portion of the mixed prairie was studied in an attempt to measure the effects of Japanese brome on production of native perennial grass. Vegetation was analyzed by paired foot-square quadrats. Japanese brome was removed from treated plots and...
An attempt was made to determine comparative effect of nitrogen fertilizer (NH4NO3) on growth and root development of wheat as influenced by various densities of fireweed (Kochia scoparia) WIder greenhouse conditions. 1. Fireweed grown alone did...
The introduced shrub Tamarix ramosissima Lebed. invades riparian zones, but
loses competitiveness under flooding. This was tested in Tamarix ramosissima by
examining responses to flooding by soil type in a greenhouse setting. A field study
examined...
This investigation was an attempt to determine the vigor of various types of range grasses under different intensities of clipping. Three range grasses selected for study were: (1) a tall grass, big bluestem (Andropogon gerardi Vitman); (2) a...
Invasion by nonnative plants is particularly prevalent in wetlands. While the ecological patterns in wetland plants are well known, it is less well known how flooding-related soil conditions influence the physiological success of introduced species...
A procedure has been developed for the separation and identification of chemical classes of the constituents of the root of Echinacea angustifolia D.C. This procedure separates the pentane soluble components into the different classes of organic...
Net shoot production in a mature Mixed Prairie community was estimated at 296 g/m[squared] by the harvest method. This estimate was obtained by adding the 126 g/m[squared] estimated as the loss that occurred from the green biomass during the...

Root system production in a Mixed Prairie grassland in Western Kansas was found to vary from 3,129 g/m2 prior to resumption of growth to a low of 2,231 g/m2 during the winter. Root-rhizome were most abundant (58%) in the top 3 inches of the...
Plant samples were taken from July 6, 1966 to March 3, 1967. The caloric content was determined for three morphological parts of Andropogon gerardi, Andropogon scoparius and Bouteloua curtipendula in a peroxide bomb calorimeter. Highly significant...
Stems of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seedlings were exposed to localized, acute X-irradiation in an effort to determine effects of such treatment upon the vascular tissues. Exposed stem sections received 1500, 3000, or 9000 r in initial...
The study area, having a total of 434 acres, was placed in the "Soil Bank" in 1958.
A sorghum cover crop was seeded in spring of 1959 and the area was seeded to grass on November 25, 1959.
Rate and mixture of seeded grasses were as follows: three...
Salt Cedar (Tamarix gallica L.) is a phreatophyte which creates a mamor water conservation problem in the Southwest. This study, which is a portion of a study conducted by Fort Hays Kansas State College for the Bureau of Reclamation, was designed...
A procedure has been developed for the isolation and separation of the several chemical classes of the constituents in the root of the Echinacea angustlfolia, DC. This procedure separates the ethanol soluble components into different classes of...
