Mycorrhizal influences on big bluestem rhizome regrowth and clipping tolerance
Date: 1990
Authors: B. A. D. Hetrick, G. W. T. Wilson, and C. E. Owensby
Summary: The effects of repeated simulated grazing on big bluestem (<em>Andropogon gerardii</em>) plants, with and without mycorrhizal fungi, were measured Hetrick et al. in this greenhouse experiment. Big bluestem plants grown in soils where myc ...
Keywords: grazing, vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae, big bluestem, andropogon gerardii, herbage yield, plant stress, symbiosis

Vegetation response to stocking rate in southern mixed-grass prairie
Date: 2000
Authors: R. L. Gillen, J. A. Eckroat, and F. T. McCollum
Summary: Authors measured standing crop and species composition of southern mixed prairie in Oklahoma subject to 7 years of moderate to heavy grazing. Stocking rate had no effect on standing crop (total, live, or dead) over the years with two minor exceptions ...

Fire and grazing in the tallgrass prairie: Contingent effects on nitrogen budgets
Date: 1991
Authors: N. T. Hobbs, D. S. Schmiel, C. E. Owensby, and D. S. Ojima
Summary: Hobbs et al. hypothesized that grazing by large herbivores results in conservation of nitrogen that would otherwise be lost from burned grasslands. They tested this hypothesis in a series of experiments on burned and unburned tallgrass prairie graze ...

Stocking rate, precipitation, and herbage production on sand sagebrush-grassland
Date: 2004
Authors: R. L. Gillen, and P. L. Sims
Summary: Gillen and Sims determined the impact of stocking rate on herbaceous production of a sand sagebrush (<em>Artemisia filifolia</em>)-grassland. Grasses contributed 89% of the total herbaceous production averaged over stocking rates and yea ...

Effects of cattle stock density on trampling loss of simulated ground nests
Date: 1990
Authors: H. P. Jensen, D. Rollins, and R. L. Gillen
Summary: The effect of nest location and stocking density of short-duration grazing, on simulated ground nest survival in Oklahoma was studied in two trials (mid-May and early July) for 10 days each. The site was burned prior to study trials to produce a uni ...
