5 Initial Assumptions The process of burning brush creates a scar that seldom recovers to pre-existing conditions. The heat from the burn damages the seed bank and soil microbial community, preventing revegetation. This void is often filled with undesirable, and/or non-native vegetation.
6 Research Questions Does the addition of non-sterilized soil affect the rate of recovery? Does the addition of seed affect the rate of recovery?
7 Hypotheses The addition of local non-sterilized soil will increase the rate of recovery The addition of seed will increase the rate of recovery

24 Conclusions The addition of unburned soil made little impact on revegetation indicating that degradation of the soil may not be as significant as previously thought. The data showed that successful revegetation is contingent on seed addition, suggesting that the burn-pile process destroys much of the seed bank as well as adult plants. Burn-scars are therefore primarily the result of local "seed limitation" rather than an impairment to the soil infrastructure or microbial community

38 Management recommendations Burn during times of high soil moisture Locate piles in areas of high productivity Keep the piles under 0-feet tall Disc all sites after the burn Seed all sites two weeks after discing Differ grazing and mowing until little bluestem is established
39 Take-home message Failure to reseed burn sites Increases the chance for undesirable and/or nonnative species to establish themselves, which often results in large-scale and long-term problems Increases soil erosion during run-off events Misses the opportunity to create desirable seed islands So seed those burn sites!
