Hello.
I''ve read and heard that most prairie/savanna remnants in Dane County, Wisconsin, are found on steep slopes or poor soil not suitable for agriculture.
I realize it is a long shot, but has anyone found a statistically significant correlation between such remnants and certain slopes or certain USDA soil types? I'm wondering whether this information might be used to set aside specific areas as part of a land use plan. I know this would not be 100% effective, but it might help. The goal is to find objective criteria for setting aside land without relying on site inventories.
Thank you for any suggestions.
