| Abstract/Contents: | "Prescribed burning is often implemented as a management practice to maintain ecological diversity in the few prairie 'remnants' still in existence. Remote sensing can be used as a tool to accurately and nondestructively quantify the effects of prescribed burning as well as the timing and frequency of prescribed burning on prairie health and productivity. From late May until early September, remote sensing measurements and biomass samples were obtained at two-week intervals from burned and unburned sections of Doolittle, Sheeder, and Cayler prairies. Using regression analysis we found a significant linear relationship between percentage reflectance (810 nm) and green biomass (dry wt), suggesting that remote sensing can be used as a nondestructive tool to determine prairie health and productivity. Student's t-test performed on area under the reflectance curve data indicated that burning significantly improved prairie health and productivity (P<0.05)." |
