Several species of wildlife use grasslands for:

The maximum density or the upper limit of survival possible of a species that particular range or area is capable of supporting during a definite period of the year is referred to as:

Warm-season grasses should be cut for hay during this period:

The transition zone or area between two or more diverse communities or habitat types is referred to as an exotone, but more commonly called:

An organism or species that is not native to the region in which it is found.

Cool season grasses do most of their growing during the spring and fall.

Which of the following is not a grass:

Remnant native prairies considered to be in poor condition should not be fertilized, limed or have seed added

A low growing, woody plant with several permanent stems arising from a common base.

The parameter or limit in an animal's habitat that outweighs all other in limiting productivity is called a:

Quail and rabbits prefer grasses that grow in clumps, rather than those that form dense sods

Research has shown that rabbits and quail rarely move further than this distance between different habitat components

The following is not a type of warm-season grass

In a native warm-season grass pasture or prairie, this type of grazing would be best for both livestock production and wildlife habitat:

Usually the most productive grazing practice for nesting wildlife is:

In wildlife management, a strip of herbaceous or woody vegetation, usually low growing and more than 30 feet in width, established along the edges of fields, woodlands or streams.

This plant is not a legume:

A plant that completes its life cycle in two years.

What plant types are the dominant species in a grassland

Warm-season grasses should not be grazed closer to the ground than:

The best compromise between peak quality and quantity for warm-season grass hay occurs in:

Burning a native prairie periodically under proper conditions benefits wildlife by:

Heavy grazing or excessive haying could cause undesirable plants to:

Proper management of a grassland may include:

Missouri has this many acres that are considered to be grasslands.

The stages through which an ecosystem passes from less complex to more complex, ie, from bare ground to an oak-hickory forest in MO is called:

The soild temperature at which warm-season grasses grow most efficiently is between (degrees F)

The place where the animal lives; where all its requirements for life are fulfilled is referred to as its:

A cross section of an area used as a sample for recording, mapping, or studying vegetation

Any plant that by its presence, frequency, or vigor indicates any particular property of the site.

The stages through which an organism passes during its existence.

A plant that is capable of removing nitrogen from the air and adding it to the soil by way of its root system is called a:

This plant is not a grass.

Wildlife prefer grasses which:

Cool-season grasses grow best during this time of year:

A species (animal or plant) that is a part of the original fauna or flora of an area.

In a pasture rotation system, warm-season grasses are used to supplement cool-season grasses during the:

Which plant type(s) will live for at least two (2) years?

Relatively small, often isolated native grasslands that occur in hilltops and south facing slopes, where thin, dry soils and dry harsh desert like summer conditions harbor natural communities of plants and animals.

The land area that drains toward a natural surface water system.

Cool season grasses do not use soil nutrients as efficiently as native warm-season grasses and require somewhat high fertility and soil pH.

Cutting hay on native prairies during September will:

Burning a warm season grass pasture or hayfield should be:
