A theoretical basis for study and management of trampling by cattle
Date: 1996
Authors: F. S. Guthery, and R. L. Bingham
Summary: Cattle trampling of endangered plants, certain animal species, and ground nests may be a management concern on rangeland. Researchers need theoretical models of trampling loss to assist in design of such studies and interpretation of results. Guthe ...

Performance of 'Grasslands Puna' chicory at different management levels
Date: 1996
Authors: G. A. Jung, J. A. Shaffer, G. A. Varga, and J. R. Everhart
Summary: Clipping trials with Puna chicory, <em>Cichorium intybus</em>, began in Pennsylvania in 1991 to examine the influence of management levels on herbage production and quality, suppression of floral stem production, and stand persistence. P ...

Grazing intensities, vegetation, and heifer gains: 55 years on shortgrass
Date: 1998
Authors: R. H. Hart, and M. M. Ashby
Summary: Shortgrass rangeland, dominated by blue grama (<em>Bouteloua gracilis</em>), was grazed at 3 intensities light, moderate, and heavy, from 1939 through 1994. In 1992-1994, frequency of occurrence, basal and foliar cover, and biomass at pe ...

Forage availability from a temperate pasture managed with intensive rotational grazing
Date: 1995
Authors: V. R. Kanneganti, and S. R. Kaffka
Summary: Kanneganti and Kaffka tested forage availability for daily intake throughout the grazing season with intensive grazing rotation management. Data was collected on herbage dry matter, botanical composition, and forage quality. When averaged over rotat ...
Keywords: forage productivity, rotational grazing, kentucky bluegrass, poa pratensis, species composition, pasture growth rates

Intermediate wheatgrass and Russian wildrye responses to defoliation and moisture
Date: 2002
Authors: J. R. Hendrickson, and J. D. Berdahl
Summary: Intermediate wheatgrass (<em>Thinopyrum intermedium</em>) and Russian wildrye (<em>Psathyrostachys juncea</em>) plants were exposed to three moisture levels and two levels of simulated grazing to determine the combined effects ...
Keywords: russian wildrye, psathyrostachys juncea, intermediate wheatgrass, thinopyrum intermedium, biomass, tiller recruitment, axillary buds, soil moisture
