Title: Cryptogamic soil crusts: Recovery from grazing near Camp Floyd State Park, Utah, USA
Journal: Great Basin Naturalist
Authors: J. R. Johansen, and L. L. St. Clair
Date: 1986
Summary: The authors compared cryptogamic crust recovery after 7 years of grazing exclusion with a similar area which had been ungrazed for 20 years. The soil characteristics, living algae, subfossil diatoms, lichen and moss, and vascular plant cover were compared between the two sites. The algae and diatom communities were not significantly different between the two sites, showing that those portions of the cryptogamic community can recover in 7 years. However, the lichen and moss communities were different between sites, with lower levels of most species in the 7 year site. A greater cover of vascu ...

Title: Effects of controlling black-tailed prairie dogs on plant production
Journal: Journal of Range Management
Authors: D. W. Uresk
Date: 1985
Summary: Uresk determined the effects of controlling black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) on pastures with or without cattle grazing in South Dakota. Compared to a control pasture that was not grazed by black-tailed prairie dogs or cattle, no differences in forage production were evident until four years after prairie dog control. Yield of western wheatgrass (Agropyron smithii), buffalograss (Buchloe dactyloides), and needleleaf sedge (Carex eleocharis) were significantly lower on pastures previously graze ...
