The effects of 4 grazing treatments (rest-rotation, deferred-rotation, season-long, and no grazing) on riparian soil infiltration, bulk density, and penetrability were examined in a study located on the Starkey Experimental Forest and Range about 48 km west of La Grande, Oregon. Rest-rotation pastures followed a pattern of rest, grazing late June-mid-August, grazing season-long, grazing mid-August-mid-October. Deferred rotation pastures were grazed alternate years, late June-mid-August and mid-August-mid-October. Season-long grazing lasted from late June-mid-October. Short-duration, high-intensity, deferred-rotation grazing was tested in September and October. All soil measurements were made in the early summer of 1980, late summer 1980, and early summer 1981.
