Title: Runoff and sediment yield under grazing in foothills fescue grasslands of Alberta: Journal: Water Resources Bulletin; Authors: M. A. Naeth, and D. S. Chanasyk; Date: 1996; Summary: Naeth and Chanasyk quantified the effects of short duration and continuous (season-long) grazing systems on runoff and sediment yield from sloped areas of the foothills fescue grasslands of Alberta. The majority of annual runoff occurred during snowmelt. Snowmelt runoff decreased with increasing grazing intensity and was generally higher from the two heavy treatments and the control than from the severe treatments, due to the higher accumulated snow in the former treatments, which in turn, was due to higher standing vegetation and litter in those areas. Thus, any grazing regime that reduces ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article
