Repeated burning of eastern tallgrass prairie increases richness and diversity, stabilizing late successional vegetation

Understanding temporal effects of fire frequency on plant species diversity and vegetation structure is critical for managing tallgrass prairie (TGP), which occupies a mid-continental longitudinal precipitation and productivity gradient. Eastern TGP has contributed little information toward understa...
