Ecological studies of fire in sagebrush/bunchgrass ecosystems of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Oregon: implications for the use of prescribed burning to maintain natural ecosystems
Kauffman JB, Sapsis DB, Till KM. 1997. Ecological studies of fire in sagebrush/bunchgrass ecosystems of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument, Oregon: implications for the use of prescribed burning to maintain natural ecosystems. Technical Report NPS/CCSOSU/NRTR-97/01. National Park Service. Seattle, Washington
This report describes the results from two experiments on the effects of spring and fall prescribed burning in the sagebrush/bunchgrass ecosystem in John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. The first portion of this report, describing the vegetation response to fires, is also available as an Oregon State University Ph.D. thesis (Sapsis 1990). The second portion of this report describes the nitrogen response to burning and post-fire conditions.
