摘要: The purpose of this study was to describe and assess the current condition restored prairie at Fort Scott National Historic Site (nhs ), compare its that a tallgrass remnant. Cover values for plant species were estimated using systematic random design. Species richness floristic quality significantly higher native than nhs in June September 2011. Big bluestem ( Andropogon gerardii ) Vitman only dominant found both sites. summer/fall forbs guild main functional group June, with c4 grasses becoming by September. major Differences composition their relative abundances indicate has partially recreated once region.
