Title: Nonequilibrium dynamics of sedge meadows grazed by cattle in southern Wisconsin
Journal: Plant Ecology
Authors: B. Middleton
Date: 2002
Summary: The effects of cattle grazing and exclusion on the long-term structural characteristics of sedge meadows in the Lodi Wildlife Area, WI (43˚ 19’ N; 89˚ 37’ W) were examined to test the equilibrium theory from 1977-1997. Four sites (reference-very lightly grazed, lightly grazed, moderately to heavily grazed and recovering-no grazing since 1973) were examined. Four environmental factors including recovery time (years since grazing), tussock height, frequency of hoof prints, and water depth at base of tussock (if present) were calculated and measured. ...
