Abstract

The response of prairie vegetation of eastern Nebraska during the great drought of 1934 has been described (Weaver, Stoddart, and Noll, '35). The purpose of the present study was to determine the results of the drought during the following year. The work has been extended to include the mixed prairie of west central Kansas.
