Nonstructural Carbohydrates in Grazed and Ungrazed Cane Bluestem

Deer and Cattle Diets on Heavily Grazed Pine-bluestem Range

We studied dietary overlap between captive white-tailed deer (n = 3) (Odocotleus tir@nlanus) and cattle (n = 4) for 3 years on 2 rotationally burned, 54-ha longleaf pine (Pinus paZustris)-bluestem (Andropogon spp.) pastures in central Louisiana. A third of each pasture was burned each year in late February. One pasture was grazed heavily (61-77% herbage use) yearlong; the other was grazed heavi...

Bird Communities in Grazed and Ungrazed Oak-Pine Woodlands at the San Joaquin Experimental Range1

Ten years of spot-mapping censuses in grazed and ungrazed plots at the San Joaquin Experimental Range, Madera Co., California, indicate likely changes in abundance of several bird species. Data do not, however, indicate that any species is in jeopardy as a result of grazing in the foothill woodlands. Brown-headed cowbirds are probably more abundant in the woodlands with cattle than without catt...

Changes in vegetation states in grazed and ungrazed Mackenzie Basin grasslands, New Zealand, 1990–2000

Changes in vegetation from 1990 to 2000 were examined at 10 high country localities, representing four grassland types: fescue tussock (Festuca novae-zelandiae), snow tussock (Chionochloa rigida), red tussock (C. rubra), and silver tussock (Poa cita). At each locality, three treatments were established: ambient sheep+rabbit grazing, rabbit grazing only, and no grazing. The mutivariate methods o...
