Extensive use of wilderness campsites has caused resource deterioration in numerous backcountry locations. Resource managers are responsible for maintaining natural wilderness-like conditions in these areas and providing opportunities for the public to use and enjoy them. This requires that realistic standards for resource impacts be determined and that publicly supported...
Subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) seed production
practices in Oregon are different from those in Australia.
There, seed is produced on fields which are managed primarily for
forage. In Oregon, seed fields are managed for seed as the primary
product and forage is of secondary concern.
Some sheep grazing is...
Perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) - white clover
(Trifolium repens) hill-land pastures were grazed at
different times in the winter to study the effect of time
of winter grazing on plant response and forage production.
The same pastures were grazed by sheep once in early
December, January, February, March, or April...
As part of a hierarchical approach to classifying watersheds and stream habitats based on geomorphic and geologic criteria, we defined ten classes of fluvial and lacustrine habitats at the scale of valley segments. Valley segments are landscape units which encompass surface waters and the adjacent floodplains and hillslopes with which...
A study investigating the effect of sheep stocking
density and grazing duration on forage intake, grazing
efficiency, dietary selectivity and subsequent forage
accumulation in tall fescue(Festuca arundinacea)-
subclover(Trifolium subtaranium) pastures was conducted
near Corvallis, Oregon during early and late spring in
1988 and 1989. Grazing treatments were 2, 6, and...
