Body

Grazing intensity of native range had little effect on total root weight, but under heavy grazing the percentage of total roots in the upper foot was greater than under moderate grazing. Thirty lb of N significantly increased root weight in the 4-ft profile. Ninety lb of N did not further increase root weight although top growth was significantly increased.
