Title: Stream channel and vegetation responses to late spring cattle grazing
Journal: Journal of Range Management
Authors: W. P. Clary
Date: 1999
Summary: A 10-year riparian grazing study was conducted on Stanley Creek, approximately 6 km northwest of Stanley, Idaho (Lat 44° 15’ 46”, Long 114° 59’ 02”). The area has had a long history of extensive grazing (65% use) and mining activities prior to the study. During this study, the riparian area was grazed in late June with cow/calf pairs and received three utilization treatments: medium (50%), light (25%), and control (0%). Stocking rate was adjusted so that all treatments were grazed for approximately the same amount of time (1 ...
