Litter mass, deposition rate, and chemical composition in bahiagrass pastures managed at different intensities
Date: 2006
Authors: J. C. B. Dubeux, L. E. Sollenberger, S. M. Interrante, J. M. B. Vendramini, and R. L. Stewart
Summary: Authors evaluate the effects of management intensity, defined in terms of N fertilization and stocking rate, on litter mass, deposition rate, and chemical composition in continuously stocked 'Pensacola' bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum) pastures in Flori ...

Herbivore-induced species replacement in grasslands: Is it driven by herbivory tolerance or avoidance?
Date: 1995
Authors: V. J. Anderson, and D. D. Briske
Summary: Schizachyrium scoparium is a dominant late-seral perennial grass that was grown in competition with another S. scoparium, with Bothriochloa saccharoides, or with Stipa leucotrichaor (two other mid-seral perennials), and clipped four times a year to s ...
Keywords: competition, grass-grazer interactions, resistance, tolerance, avoidance, selective herbivory, seral-stage, schizachyrium scoparium

Defoliation effects on seasonal production and growth rate of cool-season grasses
Date: 1994
Authors: D. P. Belesky, and J. M. Fedders
Summary: This 3-year experiment in West Virginia was designed to determine the effects of repeated defoliation, based on canopy height, on the seasonal distribution of herbage mass and growth rates of cool-season grasses. The seasonal distribution of cool-se ...

Responses of endophyte-bearing and endophyte-free varieties of <em>Lolium perenne</em> L. to fungicide treatment and simulated herbivory
Date: 1990
Authors: R. E. J. Boerner, A. J. Scherzer, and B. G. Sturgis
Summary: Fungal endophytes, which naturally grow in some plant leaves and stems, can act as a defense against herbivory and may or may not be advantageous to plants, depending on their exposure to herbivores and the effects of the endophyte on plant growth. ...

Feltleaf willow-snowshoe hare interactions: Plant carbon/nutrient balance and floodplain succession
Date: 1987
Authors: J. P. Bryant
Summary: The effects of shading and fertilizer on the palatability, regrowth and phenolic concentrations of Salix alaxensis following simulated snowshoe hare browsing (Lepus americanus) were determined in this study. Simulated browsing reduced height, but en ...
Keywords: alaska, antiherbivore defense, carbon/nutrient balance, floodplain succession, hare browsing, snowshoe hare, lepus americanus, feltleaf willow, salix alaxensis
