Title: Grazing Nassella: Maintaining purple needlegrass in a sea of aggressive annuals: Journal: Rangelands; Authors: M. R. George, S. Larson-Praplan, M. Doran, and K. W. Tate; Date: 2013; Summary: This is a synthesis of 43 articles examining the effects of grazing on purple needlegrass in the California annual grasslands. Also presented here are the results of a 2-year clipping study in Northern California to examine the specific effects of frequency, timing and intensity of defoliation on purple needlegrass. ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Rotational grazing, Weeds, Rangelands; View more details about this article

Title: Paddock size and stocking density affect spatial heterogeneity of grazing: Journal: Rangeland Ecology & Management; Authors: M. K. Barnes, B. E. Norton, M. Maeno, and J. C. Malechek; Date: 2008; Summary: The idea that spatial distribution of grazing utilization would be unaffected by a gradient in paddock size and stocking density under intensive rotational grazing management (IRG) was examined at the Utah Agriculture Experiment Station (37Â° 30' N; 113Â° W) in southwestern Utah. IRG treatments were applied representing stocking ratio densities (stocking density/stocking rate) of 16, 32, and 64 in paddocks ranging from 4 ha, 2 ha and 1 ha sized paddocks. Additionally, for grazing distribution comparison, two paddocks were managed under deferred rotation grazing (DRG).

Title: Long-term cattle gain responses to stocking rate and grazing systems in northern mixed-grass prairie: Journal: Livestock Science; Authors: J. D. Derner, R. H. Hart, M. A. Smith, and J. W. Waggoner; Date: 2008; Summary: Long-term effects of stocking rate and grazing system on livestock gains were assessed in the northern mixed-grass prairie at the USDA Agriculture High Plains Grassland Research Station in southeastern Wyoming (41° 11\' N; 104° 53\' W). This is a continuation of an existing study started in 1982 where the last 16 years of a 25-year study examined stocking rate and grazing system interactions comparing three stocking rates (light, moderate, heavy) of season-long grazing and two stocking rates (moderate, heavy) of short-duration grazing. Hereford yearling steers were weighed pri ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Continuous grazing, Rotational grazing, Stocking rate; View more details about this article

Title: Rotational grazing on rangelands: Reconciliation of perception and experimental evidence: Journal: Rangeland Ecology & Management; Authors: D. D. Briske, J. D. Derner, J. R. Brown, S. D. Fuhlendorf, W. R. Teague, K. M. Havistad, R. L. Gillen, A. J. Ash, and W. D. Willms; Date: 2008; Summary: This paper is a synthesis of 47 studies comparing continuous and rotational grazing from the AGRICOLA database and archived articles from Journal of Range Management. ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Rotational grazing, Continuous grazing, Grazing systems; View more details about this article

Title: Drought and grazing patch dynamics under different grazing management: Journal: Journal of Arid Environments; Authors: W. R. Teague, S. L. Dowhower, and J. A. Waggoner; Date: 2004; Summary: The efficiency of rotational grazing management to provide adequate rest between grazing events to reduce the rate of rangeland deterioration caused by patch-selective grazing in large paddocks during drought cycles was examined on the Waggoner Experimental Ranch in northern Texas (33Ëš 50â€™ N; 99Ëš 05â€™ W). Two grazing treatments (continuous and an 8-pasture, 1-herd rotation) were applied. On the rotational grazing treatment, cattle were moved when preferred plants were moderately defoliated. Herbaceous vegetation change, density, basal area by species, bare ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Rotational Grazing, Rangelands, Continuous grazing; View more details about this article
