About the author
Born in 1910, Kling L. Anderson is remembered as a leading figure in pasture and range management. Kansas State University says he took over leadership of its Pasture Management program in 1938 and stayed on the faculty for the next 29 years, with time away to complete a Ph.D. at the University of Nebraska and to serve as a Fulbright Fellow in New Zealand.
His research focused on practical questions that mattered deeply to ranchers, land managers, and grassland ecosystems. K-State credits him with important work on the effects of fire in the Kansas Flint Hills, along with studies of grazing and forage management. He also published technical work on plants and range management, reflecting a career built around helping people understand and care for grasslands.
His influence continued well beyond his teaching years. The Kling L. Anderson Lectureship at Kansas State was created to honor his service to the university, the state of Kansas, and the range management profession.
