This study evaluates the effects of time of mowing on species composition and inflorescence phenology in a bluestem prairie and contrast mowing and burning treatments. Treatment areas in a native prairie, with a history of summer mowing, were burned and mowed in April and evaluated in June and August of the same year. While reflecting only a single year’s treatment, the study indicated that summer mowing favors cool season grasses, such as porcupinegrass (Stipa spartea), and selects against warm season grasses such as big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii).
