Body

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.
