Heavy grazing of Canadian bluejoint to enhance hardwood and white spruce regeneration
Date: 2001
Authors: W. B. Collins
Summary: Heavy grazing was initiated on wet, disturbed sites in southcentral Alaska to try and reduce competition from herbaceous species, namely Canadian bluejoint (Calamagrostis canadensis), and increase regeneration of paper birch (Betula papyrifera) and w ...

Effects of grazing management on standing crop dynamics in tallgrass prairie
Date: 1995
Authors: D. M. Cassels, R. L. Gillen, F. T. McCollum, K. W. Tate, and M. E. Hodges
Summary: Authors evaluated the effects of continuous and rotational grazing systems at different stocking rates on standing crop dynamics of tallgrass prairie in north-central Oklahoma. Year and stocking rates interacted to affect all components of standing ...

Long-term grazing density impacts on soil compaction
Date: 2002
Authors: J. A. Daniel, K. Potter, W. Altom, H. Aljoe, and R. Stevens
Summary: Daniel et al assessed soil compaction, on Oklahoma tallgrass prairie pastures, 10 years after grazing treatments were installed, using penetration resistance, bulk density values, and rate of water infiltration. Long-term grazing increased compactio ...

Quantification and simulation of surface runoff from fescue grassland watersheds
Date: 2003
Authors: D. S. Chanasyk, E. Mapfumo, and W. Willms
Summary: Surface runoff and soil erosion, as well as non-point source (NPS) pollutants carried with them, are a concern in watershed management. A study was conducted at Agriculture Canada Stavely Range Substation, located approximately 100 km south of Calga ...

Cattle as dispersers of hound's-tongue on rangeland in southeastern British Columbia
Date: 1997
Authors: R. De Clerck-Floate
Summary: This study was conducted on three contiguous range units within the Douglas Fir biogeoclimatic zone in the Cranbrook Forest District, British Columbia. The role of cattle in relation to hound's-tongue (<em>Cynoglossum officinale</em>) s ...
