Abstract:
We examined the effects of prescribed fire and legume presence in Underdown Canyon located in the central Great Basin, Nevada, USA. We examined three treatments - one year post-burn, three years post-burn and unburned control in three replicate blocks. Within each treatment we measured density, biomass, cover, and nutrient content of a native legume, Lupinus argenteus (Pursh). We also examined the effects of Lupinus presence and prescribed fire on KCl extractable soil inorganic nitrogen and nitrogen mineralization. Lastly we examined the effect of prescribed fire and Lupinus presence on the cover and biomass on neighboring plant functional groups (annual grass, annual forb, perennial grass, perennial forb, shrub, other legumes).
