SUMMARY:Utilizing Natural Disturbances in the Establishment and Maintenance of Prairie Vegetation (Fall Virtual Series)
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will explore how natural disturbances\, such as grazing and fire\, can be valuable tools in the establishment and maintenance of prairie ecosystems. We’ll delve into how grazing by herbivores influences plant diversity and structure\, while fire serves as a natural disturbance that promotes the dominance of grasses and prevents woody plant encroachment. By understanding these interconnected processes\, we can appreciate their role in shaping vibrant\, resilient prairies. The discussion will also touch on how these ecological forces contribute to soil health\, biodiversity\, and the overall sustainability of prairie landscapes. To conclude the program\, Larry Weaner will join Chad Bitler to discuss ways to overcome the practical difficulties of incorporating these strategies outside of agricultural or ecological restoration settings. These will  include the potential availability of new landscape services and equipment that can provide mechanized facsimiles of the processes described in the program.
