Disturbance (Beaver Dams)

Fire and Disturbance Before a controlled burn. A prairie that has not burned for several years has a high propor-tion of detritus (dead grass). During the burn. The detritus serves as fuel for fires. After the burn. Approximately one month after the controlled burn, virtually all of the biomass in this prairie is living.

Stages of Succession Pioneer stage, with fireweed dominant Dryas stage 60 50 40 Soil nitrogen (g/m2) 30 20 10 Pioneer Dryas Alder Spruce Successional stage Spruce stage Nitrogen fixation by Dryas and alder increases the soil nitrogen content.
