Effects of habitat management treatments on plant community composition and biomass in a montane wetland
Austin, Keough, Pyle
Grazing and burning are commonly applied practices that can impact the diversity and biomass of wetland plant communities. We evaluated the vegetative response of wetlands and adjacent upland grasslands to four treatment regimes (continuous idle,…
