This research has the objective of determining the influence of fire on density and peak standing crop of the major grass species of the Badlands National Park mixed-grass prairie. An important goal is to evaluate the potential of prescribed fire for the control of Japanese brome (Bromus japonicus).

This research had the objective of determining the influence of fire on densities and standing crops of the major grass species of the Badlands National Park mixed-grass prairie. An important goal was to evaluate the potential of prescribed fire as a management tool for Japanese brome (Bromus japonicus).

This research has two principle objectives. The first of these is to determine the influence of fire on the density and peak standing crop of major grass species of the Badlands National Park mixed-grass prairie. The second major objective is to develop burning prescriptions that would favor native plant species over exotics. Preemergent herbicide treatments have been added to provide an alternative method of controlling exotic annual plants.

Theodore Roosevelt National Park (THRO) is a unique part of the National Park system in that it represents a mixed grass prairie eco-region. At pulloffs and integral vistas in THRO, views of the landscape in this badland setting are sweeping and open offering a long view. Such vistas have become increasingly impacted by man-made or man-caused features on the landscape outside the park but visible from within its boundaries. These features include gas and oil field structures, roads, power lines, communication towers, large vehicles, dust and smoke. Additional external development and activity is planned and park managers are in need of information that can help them determine how park values, and resources are being affected. To do this also requires that information be obtained about visitor characteristics, preferences, satisfaction, and expenditures that are in need of being updated.
