This study evaluated the response of meadow vegetation to burning, haying, grazing, and non-use on Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, OR. A plot burned in November produced the most herbage of any by the following July, with yield of 8,104 kg/ha (7,230 Ib/acre). Although some plant mortality occurred, those plants remaining were larger and more productive. [K-L-S]
