Ecology of the grassland. II

  • Published:
The Botanical Review Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

During the past decade or so increasing attention has been given to refinements in methods and procedures in the study of grassland communities and to more complete characterizations of communities. Advances have been made toward standardization, but it is premature at the present stage of development of grassland ecology to expect rigid formulations of research procedures. It is evident in recent publications that the trend is toward selection and further refinement of methods which will measure as objectively as possible the characteristics that are most significant in a particular investigation. For a complete analysis and description, all characteristics of the community require study.
