Summary
The semi-arid Sandhills prairie region of Nebraska comprises one of the largest extant prairie areas left unploughed in the USA. It is defined as a ‘mixed’ prairie (supporting unique ‘tall’ and ‘short’ grass, and sand tolerant communities). Large areas have been subject to long-term overgrazing by livestock. On Arapaho Prairie (536 ha), a Sandhills prairie site, vegetation changes were recorded during the first 4-years following cessation of intense cattle grazing.
