Title: Cover for wildlife after summer grazing on Sandhills rangeland: Journal: Journal of Range Management; Authors: P. E. Reece, J. D. Volesky, and W. H. Schacht; Date: 2001; Summary: The objective of this study was to find out how grazing pressure in June or July, precipitation, and the frequency of occurrence of selected plant species effect nesting cover of sharp-tailed grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus), based on visual obstruction (VO). Regardless of stocking rate, 90% of the VO values for June-grazed pastures met or exceeded the sharp-tailed grouse minimum cover standard (6.9 cm). This minimum cover standard was met only with light stocking rates during July-grazing. Precipitation in May was responsible for 32% of the cover variation in the ungr ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article

Title: Summer habitat use by Columbian sharp-tailed grouse in western Idaho: Journal: Great Basin Naturalist; Authors: V. A. Saab, and J. S. Marks; Date: 1992; Summary: Columbian sharp-tailed grouse (Tympanuchus phasianellus columbianus) selected areas with increased herbaceous cover and less bare ground. This type of habitat is generally found in areas with none to little livestock influences. Grouse also preferred sites with a greater amount of decreaser forb species. Arrowleaf balsamroot (Balsamorhiza sagittata) and bluebunch wheatgrass (Agropyron spicatum) were major components of preferred grouse microhabitats; both of these plant species decrease with overgrazing and are important factors ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article
