{{cite book}}: CS1 maint: others (link)pp 194-5: Fire frequency has increased in many areas due to invasion of cheatgrass and medusahead, introduced annuals that cure early and remain flammable during a long fire season. Increased fire frequency exerts strong selective pressure against many native plants (Keane and others 1999)
(re: plant distribution) p. 87: Bison prefer burned to unburned grassland for grazing during the growing season and can contribute to the pattern of burning in prairie (Vinton and others 1993)
As a whole, BC represents between 1 and 6% of the total soil organic carbon. It can reach 35% like in Terra Preta Oxisols (Brazilian Amazonia) (Glaser et al., 1998, 2000) up to 45 % in some chernozemic soils from Germany (Schmidt et al., 1999) and up to 60% in a black Chernozem from Canada (Saskatchewan) (Ponomarenko and Anderson, 1999)
p86: Historically, Native Americans contributed to the creation and maintenance of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem by frequently burning these ecosystems, which controlled woody vegetation and maintained dominance by herbaceous plants. In the Eastern tallgrass prairie, Native Americans were probably a far more important source of ignition than lightning. With grasses remaining green through late summer and a low incidence of dry lightning storms, lightning caused fires were probably relatively infrequent. Few studies of the pre-Euro-American tallgrass prairie have been conducted.

The tallgrass prairie biome depends on prairie fires, a form of wildfire, for its survival and renewal. ... [and] ...the prairie is the natural habitat of fire.

The Plains Indians started fires to attract game to new grasses. They sometimes referred to fire as the "Red Buffalo."
Surprised by the finding, the researchers shifted their focus to the origin of the dissolved charcoal.

Frequent presettlement fires in Illinois created a multi-level, positive-feedback system for sequestering SOC and enhancing soil fertility.
