Herbage production the first season after burning was 2,110 lbs. per acre, as compared to 772 lbs. on unburned areas. Burned areas maintained high productivity of grasses and forbs the second year. Dead material comprised about 90% of the total herbage for stands unburned for 25 years, but only 19% on burned stands.Type
