TextPublication details: Brookings, SD : South Dakota State University, 1988.Description: xvi, 165 leaves : ill. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: Investigations on aspects of seasonal wetland forage potential were conducted in eastern South Dakota. The quantity and quality of the standing crop of vegetation in 6 seasonal wetland communities were assessed at the end of the growing season in 1983 and in 2 seasonal-wetland-dominated basins and their associated uplands (native mixed-grass prairie) over the growing season in 1985. Crude protein (CP), ash, detergent fiber, and in vitro digestible dry matter (IVDDM)values were measured on the above-ground material of whitetop [Scolochloa festucacea (Willd.) Link], slough sedge (Carex atherodes Spreng.), burreed (Sparganium eurycarpum Englem.), and smartweed (polygonum amphibium L. var. emersum Michx.) at intervals during the growing seasons of 1984 and 1985. Concurrent measurements of the total nonstructural carbohydrate (TNC) content of below-ground material of these 4 species were also made. An additional 27 species were collected during the summer seasons of 1984 and 1985 for CP,
