- Summary:
- Shortgrass plains vegetation was disturbed using ionizing radiation, burning, scraping and rototilling. The vegetation was relatively resistant to radiation and was most sensitive in December. Burning was similar to moderate radiation damage, scraping and tilling similar to severe radiation damage. Recovery was rapid but climax vegetation was not achieved by 8 years after the disturbance. Seeding trials were conducted at Rocky Flats with only moderate success. Seldom did the seeded species dominate the stand after seeding.
