A report on Management of Native Prairie Areas, Pipestone National Monument
Landers RQ. 1979. A report on Management of Native Prairie Areas, Pipestone National Monument. Iowa State University. Ames, IA
The objectives of this study were to determine the nature of the vegetation prior to european settlement, to delineate present vegetation boundaries and to advise on longterm management which would enhance the characteristics for which the area was dedicated as a National Monument. Tree ring studies were used to determine the approximate age of trees and their responses to environmental stress and the vigor and diversity of prairie vegetation in various sectors were surveyed in relation to present management. Photographs were made at significant points to provide specific visual images for comparisons with photographs and written records of the past and future.
