Effects of intense, short-duration grazing on microtopography in a Chihuahuan Desert grassland
Date: 2004
Authors: M. S. Nash, E. Jackson, and W. G. Whitford
Summary: Nash et al. studied the effect of three consecutive years of short duration and intense grazing on soil surface microtopography in a Chihuahuan Desert grassland. The results of this study document the virtual elimination of the fine-scale microtopog ...

Multi-decadal impacts of grazing on soil physical and biogeochemical properties in southeast Utah
Date: 2005
Authors: J. C. Neff, R. L. Reynolds, J. Belnap, and P. Lamothe
Summary: Neff et al. studied three sites (one that was never grazed and two that were historically grazed), in southwestern Utah. Their results show that erosion of nutrient-rich soil fine materials results in depletion of rock-derived nutrient content, and ...

Post-harvest seed dormancy effects on kleingrass germination following simulated digestion by cattle
Date: 1995
Authors: W. R. Ocumpaugh, C. R. Tischler, and L. S. Valle
Summary: Grass seed germinability declines linearly with increased exposure to in vivo and in virto digestions, but the factors that regulate loss of seed germinability are unknown. One potential mechanism of seed dispersal is seed dormancy. A laboratory st ...

Effect of stress and time for recovery on the amount of compensatory growth after grazing
Date: 1991
Authors: M. Oesterheld, and S. J. McNaughton
Summary: Oesterheld and McNaughton tested the hypothesis that the amount of compensatory growth after defoliation is affected by the level of stress at which plants grow when defoliated and by the length of time of recovery. Relative growth rate (RGR: new / ...
Keywords: grazing, growth, stress, allocation, briza subaristata

Long-term heavy-grazing effects on soil and vegetation in the four corners region
Date: 1990
Authors: A. B. Orodho, M. J. Trlica, and C. D. Bonham
Summary: In New Mexico, Orodho et al. determined the effects of previous heavy grazing for over 50 years on soil compaction and moisture, herbage production, cover and density of natural vegetation, and abundance of the dominant grass species, Indian ricegras ...
