Impacts of mule deer and horse grazing on transplanted shrubs for revegetation
Date: 1994
Authors: D. D. Austin, P. J. Urness, and S. L. Durham
Summary: Horse grazing in the spring increased winter browse for mule deer in Northern Utah. Horses removed about 50% of the herbaceous biomass, while deer used slightly more than 50% of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata), but only 10% of rubber rabbitbrus ...

Effects of short-duration and continuous grazing on bobwhite and wild turkey nesting
Date: 1986
Authors: L. J. Bareiss, P. Schulz, and F. S. Guthery
Summary: The effects of short-duration and continuous grazing on loss rates of ground nests and the availability of nesting cover for bobwhites (Colinw virginianus) and wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo) were examined on the Encino Division of the King Ranch ...

Herbage productivity and ungulate use of northeastern Nevada mountain meadows
Date: 2004
Authors: J. L. Beck, and J. M. Peek
Summary: In this study, Beck and Peek determined the effects of elk (<em>Cervus elaphus</em>) use and cattle (<em>Bos taurus</em>) use on three mountain meadows in northeastern Nevada during different seasons through exclosure fencing ...

Defoliation effects on seasonal production and growth rate of cool-season grasses
Date: 1994
Authors: D. P. Belesky, and J. M. Fedders
Summary: This 3-year experiment in West Virginia was designed to determine the effects of repeated defoliation, based on canopy height, on the seasonal distribution of herbage mass and growth rates of cool-season grasses. The seasonal distribution of cool-se ...

Economic tradeoffs between livestock grazing and wildlife habitat: a ranch-level analysis
Date: 1994
Authors: D. J. Bernardo, G. W. Boudreau, and T. C. Bidwell
Summary: The model developed in this study found that wildlife habitat could be improved by reducing cattle (Bos taurus) grazing intensity from 556 AUMs to 325 AUMs on the study site. Heavy grazing pressure was found to decrease Northern bobwhite (Colinus vi ...
