Figure 2From: Dormant-Season Fire Inhibits Sixweeks Fescue and Enhances Forage Production in Shortgrass SteppeLeast squares means ± standard error of the mean for autumn fire treatment × year for (a) standing dead biomass (g m−2) and (b) bare soil exposure (%) collected in late summer from 2007 to 2016, and (c) summer soil volumetric soil water content (%) collected from 16 June to 31 July in 2009 to 2016. Means with different subscripts differ (P < 0.05). Red arrows point to measurements taken in the growing season following burning. The rain cloud is above the year when precipitation patterns prevented burning.Back to article page
