Soil bulk density and water infiltration as affected by grazing systems
Date: 1987
Authors: A. H. Abdel-Magid, G. E. Schuman, and R. H. Hart
Summary: Bulk density and water infiltration showed little change in a comparison of 3 grazing systems stocked at light, moderate and heavy levels in a study in Wyoming. While soil bulk density was greater in heavily grazed treatments after 2 years, water in ...

Soil and vegetation responses to simulated trampling
Date: 1987
Authors: A. H. Abdel-Magid, M. J. Trlica, and R. H. Hart
Summary: Abdel-Magid et al. used an artificial hoof to simulate 4 levels of trampling intensity typical of continuous and short duration grazing systems, on shortgrass prairie sods, maintained at varying levels of water stress under greenhouse conditions. Ch ...

Summary: Cattle position, stocking densities, and stream discharges were measured to determine the effects of alternate watering sources with and without riparian area fencing on stream cross-sectional data approximately 15 miles northwest of Lexington, KY (3 ...

Evaluation of potential herbivore mediation of plant water status in a North American mixed-grass prairie
Date: 1986
Authors: D. Archer, and J. K. Detling
Summary: During diurnal June and August measurements, the water potential of mixed grass prairie species, in Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, did not differ between a site colonized by black-tailed prairie dogs for 10 years and an uncolonized site, graz ...
Keywords: black-tailed prairie dog, cynomys ludovicianus, water potentials, xylem, agropyron smithii, andropogon gerardii, andropogon scoparius, artemisia frigida

Fringed sagebrush response to sward disturbances: Seedling dynamics and plant growth
Date: 1996
Authors: Y. Bai, J. T. Romo
Summary: To determine the response of fringed sagebrush (<em>Artemisia frigida</em> Willd.) to different types of disturbance, vegetation and soil measurements were recorded for two years following tilling, clipping, litter removal, and a combinat ...
Keywords: artemisia frigida willd., fringed sagebrush, northern mixed prairie, patch dynamics, population dynamics, safe sites, seed reserves, seedling emergence
