Body
Abstract Livestock grazing is often viewed as having detrimental effects on plants and plant communities. Livestock grazing can, however, be managed to be an effective tool for vegetation management. Grazing can be used to manipulate vegetation for wildlife habitat, weed control, and fuel reduction to reduce wildfire susceptibility or severity. Because few results are available, more research that encompasses grazing management at a landscape scale needs to be conducted.
