The Konza Long-term Ecological Research site (LTER) is located on a 3,847 ha tall-grass prairie reserve in Kansas. Konza LTER is divided into experimental watersheds, where each watershed is subjected to a combination of different fire and grazing intensities. Long-term monitoring of small mammal communities has been conducted on a...MORE
Quadrats (36 ungrazed; 15 grazed) in a Kansas mixed grass prairie that were censused annually from 1932 to 1972. Located in Hays, Kansas, all individual plants were mapped in these 1 m 2 quadrats located in a pasture owned by Fort Hays State University. Monthly precipitation and average temperature data...MORE
