Overview
Prescribed burning is one of the most versatile tools for range management. To effectively utilize and capture prescribed fire's versatility, it is just as important to know when to burn as it is to know why and how. The season and timing of a fire can influence specific successional plant community response. This is especially true in the Edwards Plateau, High Plains, and Rolling Plains regions of Texas. This publication discusses plant phenology and how the timing of fire shifts plant communities. (6 pages)
