131. Ohr, K.M. and T.B. Bragg. 1985. Effects of fire on nutrient and energy concentration of five prairie grass species. Prairie Nat 17:113-126.

In a tallgrass, bluestem-dominated prairie, significant differences in plant nutrient concentrations were found between burned and unburned areas, between areas burned at different frequencies, and between recently and less recently burned areas. Biomass energy concentration increased with burning and with burning frequency. Soil nutrient data are provided.
