- Intervention effect By the second post-season sample in 1998, May-burned plots had higher total productivity than August-burned plots.
- Intervention effect By the second post-season sample in 1998, May-burned plots had higher total productivity than unburned plots.
- Intervention effect C4 production in May-burned plots was 5 to 6 times that in the other two treatments early in succession.
- Observation August burns produced a mix of C3 and C4 grasses and did not strongly favor Phalaris arundinacea.
- Association Unburned plots had 4 times the accumulated litter of August-burned plots.
- Observation Unburned plots most resembled August-burned plots in species composition.
