Title: Cutting frequency and cutting height effects on rough fescue and parry oat grass yields
Journal: Journal of Range Management
Authors: W. D. Willms
Date: 1991
Summary: Author measured the effects of different frequencies and intensities of defoliation on rough fescue and parry oat grass regrowth and yield. Rough fescue yield declined as clipping frequency increased and the greatest yields were produced when a single defoliation treatment was applied in late August. Parry oat grass was able to maintain lower yields over a wide range of clipping frequencies and intensities and production was even enhanced under moderate clipping by the third year of defoliation. Grazing rough fescue/Parry oat grass pastures, during the growing season, will likely reduce com ...

Title: Effects of stocking rate on a rough fescue grassland vegetation
Journal: Journal of Range Management
Authors: W. D. Willms, S. Smoliak, and J. F. Dormaar
Date: 1985
Summary: In this study, authors used exclosures to determine the effects of continuous grazing at light, moderate, heavy and severe stocking rates, in Alberta rough fescue grasslands for 32 years. In comparing vegetation data from the first six years to the last six years, grassland deterioration was obvious at greater stocking rates. As stocking rate increased from moderate to severe, rough fescue declined dramatically and was replaced with Parry oat grass and forbs. Range condition increased in the lightly stocked pasture and in exclosures of all pastures. However, the exclosure recovery rate was ...
