Stocker cattle performance and vegetation response to intensive-early stocking of Cross Timbers rangeland
Date: 1990
Authors: F. T. McCollum, R. L. Gillen, D. M. Engle, and G. W. Horn
Summary: McCollum et al. measured vegetation composition on pastures managed with season long grazing (April-September) or intensive-early stocking (April-July) to determine which grazing system was more beneficial in Oklahoma pastures. Intensive early stock ...

Defoliation effects on three range grasses
Date: 1985
Authors: A. McLean, and S. Wikeem
Summary: In southern British Columbia, McLean and Wikeem conducted clipping trials at two upper grassland sites for rough fescue, two lower grassland sites for crested wheatgrass, and one site each in the upper and lower zones for bluebunch wheatgrass in orde ...

Rough fescue response to season and intensity of defoliation
Date: 1985
Authors: A. McLean, and S. Wikeem
Summary: Clipping treatments were used to determine how different intensities (stubble heights), frequencies (number of clipping treatments), and seasons of grazing would affect vigor and survival of rough fescue (<em>Festuca scabrella</em>) plant ...
Keywords: rough fescue, festuca scabrella, grazing intensity, survival, slant vigor, stubble height, simulated herbivory

Mid-Texas coastal marsh change (1939-1991) as influenced by lesser snow goose herbivory
Date: 1996
Authors: D. L. Miller, F. E. Smeins, and J. W. Webb
Summary: Aerial photographs were used to quantify the pattern changes of vegetation/mudflats/open water within the SBNWR salt marsh from1939 to1991 in Brazoria County, Texas (28° 55' N, 95° 35' W). Four land type categories were identifi ...

Summer grazing strategies following early-season grazing of big bluestem
Date: 2003
Authors: E. M. Mousel, W. H. Schacht, and L. E. Moser
Summary: This study in Nebraska determined the effect of timing and frequency of grazing big bluestem (<em>Andropogon gerardii</em>) pasture following a May grazing period on herbage availability and herbage disappearance for the remainder of the ...
