Effect of Grazing Intensity on Plant Composition, Vigor, and Production

Two loamy prairie pastures were studied to determine the effect of different grazing intensities on botanical composition, herbage production, and plant vigor. Indications are that heavy grazing causes a decrease in range condition, an increase in undesirable grasses and forbs, and a decrease in vigor. Heavy grazing did not affect basal density.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.
