Cattle grazing effects on understory cover and tree growth in mixed conifer clearcuts
Date: 1989
Authors: B. H. Allen, and J. W. Bartolome
Summary: Allen and Bartolome studied the impact of grazing by cattle and deer for reduction of shrubs and herbaceous plants on tree plantations established on clearcuts in the Sierra Nevada of California. Cattle reduced the shrub and herbaceous canopy cover t ...

Rates of vegetation change associated with prairie dog (<em>Cynomys ludovicianus</em>) grazing in North American mixed-grass prairie
Date: 1987
Authors: S. Archer, M. G. Garrett, and J. K. Detling
Summary: Expansion of a 6-year old prairie dog colony to a previously uncolonized site resulted in loss of perennial grasses and their replacement by annual forbs within 3 years. Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), needleandthread grass (Stipa comata), and g ...

Cattle herbage utilization patterns under high-density rotational grazing in the Aspen Parkland
Date: 2003
Authors: S. A. Asamoah, E. W. Bork, B. D. Irving, M. A. Price, and R. J. Hudson
Summary: The use of riparian meadows, upland grasslands, and forests by cattle grazed in a twice grazed high-density rotational grazing system (early season-stocking rate = 1.1 AUM/ha for 4 days, late season-stocking rate = 0.9 AUM/ha for 3 days) was examined ...

Effects of dormant-season herbage removal on Flint Hills rangeland
Date: 1988
Authors: L. M. Auen, and C. E. Owensby
Summary: Kansas cattle producers that use intensive, early stocking techniques on big bluestem (<em>Andropogon gerardii</em>) prairies may also be able to graze cattle during winter months to reduce production costs associated with winter feeding. ...
