Title: Impacts of rotational grazing and riparian buffers on physiochemical and biological characteristics of southeastern Minnesota, USA, streams
Journal: Environmental Management
Authors: L. A. Sovell, B. Vondracek, J. A. Frost, and K. G. Mumford
Date: 2000
Summary: Sovell et al. conducted a study to asses the relationship between riparian management and stream quality along five southeastern Minnesota streams. The study was conducted during 1995 and 1996. Principal components analysis (PCA) of water chemistry, physical habitat, and biotic data indicated a local management effect. The ordinations separated continuous grazing from sites with rotational grazing, and sites with wood buffers from those with grass buffers or rotationally grazed areas. Fecal coliform and turbidity were consistently higher at continuously grazed sites in relation to rotationa ...
