  1. Hydrologic Response to Prescribed Burning in the Flint Hills, Kansas

    … parameters of the hydrologic cycle in the Flint Hills region of Kansas. The study introduces the VELAS model, which employs a daily soil water balance component, providing a more comprehensive simulation of moisture changes. The analysis of the Flint Hills' daily hydrologic processes …

  2. Effects of prescribed fire timing on vigor of sericea lespedeza in the Kansas Flint Hills

    We evaluated effects of annual, prescribed burning on vigor of the noxious weed, sericea lespedeza (Lespedeza cuneata; SL) in native tallgrass prairie over a 4-yr period. We hypothesized that annual prescribed burning conducted during the growing season would selectively pressure SL, whereas …

  3. Systematics and reproductive biology of the genus Morus L. (Moraceae)

    … co-occur in eastern North America including the Flint Hills region of the Central Plains. In my dissertation research, I have conducted both species level and population level studies to obtain insights into the diversification of Morus. At the species level, my objectives were to re-evaluate the …

    … of Texas, Central Great Plains of Oklahoma, and Flint Hills of Kansas to investigate landowner perceptions and management responses to WPE. First, I assessed landowners’ acceptance of WPE as a function of how they relate to their land (i.e., sense of place), their beliefs about the positive and …

  6. Assessing belowground biomass changes following land management and vehicle disturbance

    Military training is destructive by nature and removes vegetation, leading to excess soil degradation if not properly maintained. The Army in particular was interested in incorporating the cumulative effects of military training on vegetation into their land carrying capacity models. An …
