Relative to Northern Grasslands in South-Central Canada and North-Central United States

143. Ralston, R.D., and R.L. Dix. 1966. Green herbage production of native grasslands in the Red River Valley. Proc 1965 ND Acad Sci 20:57-66.

Herbage production on 40 stands of remnant prairie in eastern North Dakota, southern Manitoba, and northwestern Minnesota were assessed. Most of the stands are on railroad shoulders and are therefore burned nearly every year. Comparatively high yields on the stands are attributed to above-average precipitation and frequent fire.
