From the text... 'Prairie vegetation is so universally mowed, grazed, or burned that little information has been recorded on its behavior under complete protection. Climax grassland, when grazed lightly or even moderately, may retain essentially its natural composition over extremely long periods (16, 18). But aside from observation there is little information upon the unusual and rare phenomenon of: complete protection of grassland from disturbance over a considerable period of tune.' ©The University of Chicago Press.
