Grass Biomass Fig 3: Grass biomass is significantly higher in burned than unburned prairie plots. (p=.006) Bars are one standard deviation from the mean. Bowman, O’Brien and Vaughan 2007

Forbs Fig. 1: Forbs biomass is not significantly different between burned and unburned plots. (p=0.853) Bars are one standard error from the mean. Bowman, O’Brien and Vaughan 2007

Necromass Fig 2: The mean of necromass in unburned plots is slightly higher than in burned plots, however the results are non-significant (p=0.412) Bars are one standard deviation from the mean. Bowman, O’Brien and Vaughan 2007

Results Big Bluestem is strongly affected by recent burning, while Indian Grass is not. Bars are one standard error from the mean. Davenport and Cohn 2007
