Structure of prairie vegetation
Abstract
The prairies have furnished a fascinating field for study since the days of the early botanical explorations. Notwithstanding numerous studies, how- ever, most of which have been merely descriptive, few quantitative investigations have been made. With the rapid breaking of the prairie as a result of agricultural progress, it seemed that it might entirely disappear before a de- tailed record of its structure had been made. This fact was clearly brought by Dr. J. E. Weaver to the attention of the writer, who is a native of Switzer- land and upon whom the grasslands have made a deep impression. After two years of preliminary studies, intensive work was pursued during 1927 and 1928.
