Abstract
Investigates the effects of varying seedling density of forbs and grasses in prairie restorations. Forb cover and diversity were higher when seeded at higher densities and with lower densities of grasses. The study recommends seeding most forb seeds into areas not dominated by grasses.Suggested Citation
