“…It is in eastern Nebraska and Kansas that root penetration is greater than anywhere farther westward or eastward in North American grasslands. Westward it is less because of dry subsoil (Albertson 1937;Weaver 1915Weaver , 1917 blue grama and bare soil, depth of penetration averaged 9 and 2 inches, respectively, and maximum depth in the same order 12.5 and 3.25 inches. Here, as before, depth of infiltration was determined immediately (Fig.…”

“…But a similar comparison of the quadrats in eastern Nebraska before and after the drought (columns 2 and 3) reveals marked changes. Chief among these is the great decrease in Andropogon (Albertson 1937). The little bluestem consociation occupied hillsides, where rock outcrops were common, as well as shallow ravines.…”

“…Earlier studies on the root depth and distribution of native Midwestern range and pasture grasses were made with only minor consideration of specifie soil types or soil horizons (Weaver 1919(Weaver , 1920Sperry 1935;Albertson 1937). The objectives of these early studies were to ascertain the general relationships of roots to soil and to each other as regards spread, depth, and degree of development in the same community and in different and widely separated units of vegetation.…”
