Application of an Herbivore-Plant Model to Rest-Rotation Grazing Management on Shrub-Steppe Rangeland

A graphical model of a discontinuously stable herbivore-plant system is used to demonstrate analytically relationships between the amount of rest, stocking rate, and seasons of use in rest-rotation livestock grazing management on shrub-grass ranges. All three of these components are important and their interaction determines the system's response. Important points applicable to management are enumerated.This material was digitized as part of a cooperative project between the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.The Journal of Range Management archives are made available by the Society for Range Management and the University of Arizona Libraries.
