  • Currently, vegetation mix in the control pasture is classified as early mid seral (Probability = .75) and vegetation mix in the treatment pasture is classified as early seral (Probability = .94), based on cover-frequency index (CFI) for blue grama. [These probabilities state the certainty of correctly classifying the vegetation based on the cover-frequency index]<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

  • Peak standing crop of palatable plants was similar (P = .44) on and off prairie dog towns, i.e., 747 kg\/ha \ufffd 329 kg\/ha vs 852 kg\/ha \ufffd 491 kg\/ha, respectively. Peak standing crop of this years’ growth was measured on areas protected from either cattle or prairie dog grazing (caged). Palatable plants excluded annual forbs, red threeawn and galleta.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Total peak standing crop was also similar (P=.74) on vs off colonies, i.e., 840 kg\/ha \ufffd 151 kg\/ha vs 1154 kg\/ha \ufffd 478 kg\/ha, respectively.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      • Peak standing crop of blue grama on vs off colony was similar (P = .27), i.e., 377 \ufffd 377 kg\/ha vs 622 \ufffd 163 kg\/ha, respectively.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
          \n
        • Peak standing crop of buffalograss on vs off colony was similar (P = .70), i.e., 292 kg\/ha \ufffd 336 kg\/ha vs 230 kg\/ha \ufffd 387 kg\/ha, respectively.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
            \n
          • Peak standing crop of red threeawn was similar (P = .43) on vs off colony (P=.43), i.e., 35 kg\/ha \ufffd 70 kg\/ha (on caged) vs. 291 \ufffd 422 kg\/ha, respectively.<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
