Title: Fish and grazing relationships: The facts and some pleas: Journal: Fisheries; Authors: J. N. Rinne; Date: 1999; Summary: The objectives of this review article are to address the relationships of fish, fish habitat, and grazing in the U.S. Forest Service's Southwestern Region, which includes Arizona and New Mexico. Although extensive research exists about grazing in the Rocky Mountain states, Intermountain, and Pacific Northwest regions, there is little literature that addresses fish-grazing relationships. Most of the literature that deals with fish and grazing relationships appears in publications that are not peer-reviewed. This lack of peer-reviewed literature containing sound data on grazing-fish relations ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article

Title: Landscape variables affecting livestock impacts on water quality in the humid temperate zone: Journal: Canadian Journal of Plant Science; Authors: E. A. Clark; Date: 1998; Summary: This is a literature review of 46 published scientific articles covering how landscape variables influence the impacts of livestock grazing on water quality in humid temperate zones. ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Grazing, Watersheds; View more details about this article

Title: Water quality effect of rangeland beef cattle excrement: Journal: Rangelands; Authors: G. A. Nader, K. W. Tate, E. R. Atwill, and J. Bushnell; Date: 1998; Summary: This review looks at nonpoint source pollution in watersheds caused by cattle excrement, and how rangeland managers must address certain concerns regarding impacts on water quality due to nutrient and pathogen loading to these water bodies. Nader suggests that water quality data should be examined carefully before assigning a cause and effect relationship between cattle grazing and nonpoint source pollution. Natural background levels of nutrient and pathogen loading can be quite high during storm events. Nonpoint source pollution from pastured and rangeland livestock depends on stocking rat ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Wildlife; View more details about this article

Title: Potential for enhancing riparian habitats in the southwestern United States with watershed practices: Journal: Forest Ecology and Management; Authors: L. F. DeBano, and L. J. Schmidt; Date: 1990; Summary: This is a literature review of 40 published scientific articles covering potential enhancements to riparian habitats in headwater and downstream river environments with watershed practices in Southwest United States. ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Rangelands, Watershed management; View more details about this article

Title: Bacterial water quality responses to four grazing strategies-comparisons with Oregon standards: Journal: Journal of Environmental Quality; Authors: A. R. Tiedemann, D. A. Higgins, T. M. Quigley, H. R. Sanderson, and C. C. Bohn; Date: 1988; Summary: The effects of four grazing strategies (no grazing, grazing without additional management to effect distribution, grazing management to achieve uniform distribution and intensive grazing to maximize livestock production) on concentrations of fecal coliform and fecal streptococcus were measured from 13 forested watersheds in eastern Oregon for one year. Grab samples of stream flow were collected for analysis from each watershed once every 7 days from July through September. ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Watersheds, Grazing Systems, Nonpoint pollution; View more details about this article

Title: Infiltration rates and sediment production as influenced by grazing systems in the Texas Rolling Plains: Journal: Journal of Range Management; Authors: J. J. Pluhar, R. W. Knight, and R. K. Heitschmidt; Date: 1987; Summary: The effect of four grazing treatments (moderately stocked yearlong continuous, 4-pasture 3-herd deferred-rotation, short-duration high-intensity rotation and ungrazed) on watershed conditions at the Texas Experimental Ranch (99° 14\' W, 33° 20\' N) was investigated over two years. Vegetative cover, standing crop, soil attributes (bulk density, organic matter, aggregate stability, surface roughness, infiltration rate) and total sediment were measured on both the mid-grass and shortgrass communities during August and November of the first year and again the following March and Ju ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Watersheds, Grazing, Hydrology; View more details about this article

Title: Impacts of rest-rotation grazing on streambanks in forested watersheds in Idaho: Journal: North American Journal of Fisheries Management; Authors: W. S. Platts, and R. L. Nelson; Date: 1985; Summary: The effects of a rest-rotation grazing system and complete rest were examined over four years on the riparian vegetation and streambank stability, where there had been no livestock grazing for 20 years or more on eleven study areas located along the Salmon River in Idaho. There were four areas in the South Fork of the Salmon River, two in Frenchman Creek, two areas Upper Bear Valley and one on Horton Creek. Sites were grazed under a three pasture rest-rotation system. Except for Horton, all other areas were studied a minimum of 4 years prior to any grazing treatment. Stream side and adjacent ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Riparian zones, Grazing, Rangelands; View more details about this article
