Litter mass, deposition rate, and chemical composition in bahiagrass pastures managed at different intensities
Date: 2006
Authors: J. C. B. Dubeux, L. E. Sollenberger, S. M. Interrante, J. M. B. Vendramini, and R. L. Stewart
Summary: Authors evaluate the effects of management intensity, defined in terms of N fertilization and stocking rate, on litter mass, deposition rate, and chemical composition in continuously stocked 'Pensacola' bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum) pastures in Flori ...

Effects of cattle grazing upon chemical constituents within important forages for elk
Date: 1987
Authors: W. J. Dragt, and K. M. Havstad
Summary: The effect of summer cattle grazing on the winter forage quality of bluebunch wheatgrass, Idaho fescue and rough fescue for elk within the Elkhorn Mountains of Montana was investigated. Forage quality was determined by comparing utilization and chem ...

Cattle grazing a riparian mountain meadow: Effects of low and moderate stocking density on nutrition, behavior, diet selection, and plant growth response
Date: 1995
Authors: S. A. Huber, M. B. Judkins, L. J. Krysl, T. J. Svejcar, B. W. Hess, and D. W. Holcombe
Summary: Steers were used to evaluate the effects of stocking density on grazing behavior, dietary selection, forage intake, digesta kinetics, and growth rates of Carex nebraskensis and Juncus balticus in a riparian pasture on upper Big Grizzly Creek in Pluma ...

Moose herbivory in taiga: Effects on biogeochemistry and vegetation dynamics in primary succession
Date: 1998
Authors: K. Kielland, and J. P. Bryant
Summary: Vegetation and soil chemistry variables were measured inside and outside of a 7 year old exclosure to determine the effects of moose (<em>Alces alces</em>) herbivory on Alaskan taiga forest succession. Vegetation measurements indicated t ...

Moose herbivory, browse quality, and nutrient cycling in an Alaskan treeline community
Date: 1993
Authors: E. M. Molvar, R. T. Bowyer, and V. Van Ballenberghe
Summary: The effects of moose (<em>Alces alces</em>) herbivory on diamond-leaf willow (<em>Salix planifolia pulchra</em>) forage quality and rate of nitrogen mineralization were examined in the Jenny Creek and Savage River drainages in ...
