Effects of grazing and burning on densities and habitats of breeding ducks in North Dakota
Date: 1996
Authors: A. D. Kruse, and B. S. Bowen
Summary: The research of this study found that spring cattle grazing (<em>Bos taurus</em>) reduced gadwall (<em>Anas strepera</em>) and blue-winged teal (<em>Anas discors</em>) cover. Gadwall and blue-winged teal nest dens ...

Relationship of soil and plant characteristics to erosion and runoff on pasture and range
Date: 1991
Authors: L. Hofmann, and R. E. Ries
Summary: The relationship of soil and vegetation factors to soil loss and runoff were examined near Center, North Dakota on reclaimed mine-land pastures (Cabba Soils) and adjacent native rangeland (Sen Soils). Simulated rainfall was applied at a rate of 46 mm ...

Ecological determinants of species loss in remnant prairies
Date: 1996
Authors: M. K. Leach, and T. J. Givnish
Summary: In Wisconsin, the average absolute loss of species per site per year was 0.45% for dry prairies, 0.77% for mesic prairies, and 1.03% for wet prairies. These values imply that half the plant species present in a remnant wet prairie would disappear in ...

Animal performance and plant production form continuously grazed cool-season reclaimed and native pastures
Date: 1989
Authors: L. Hofmann, and R. E. Reis
Summary: Hofmann and Ries compared season-of-grazing use of pastures comprised of introduced and cool-season species with pastures comprised of a mix of native warm- and cool-season species with pastures comprised of a mix of native warm- and cool-season spec ...

Cattle-deer interactions in the Sierra Nevada: A bioeconomic approach
Date: 1991
Authors: J. B. Loomis, E. R. Loft, D. R. Updike, and J. G. Kie
Summary: The bio-economic model used in this study found that grazing cattle (<em>Bos taurus</em>), in a system featuring two years of non-use and one year of use between June and late September, led to an increase of 14.6% in the potential carryi ...
