A study to determine possible impacts of cattle and big game grazing on streamside erosional responses was initiated in 1975. The objectives of the study were to: (1) establish the study and collect base line measurements; (2) determine the impact of animal grazing on soil bulk density and erosional potential,...
Three five acre exclosures were established in 1964 to monitor
vegetational regeneration and forage productivity on a coniferous
forest site in northeastern Oregon which was clear-cut in 1963, broadcast
burned and seeded in 1964. Fence design and construction to
facilitate controlled early summer cattle grazing trials was completed
by 1965....
In 1978, a ten year project was begun to examine
the synecological effects of livestock grazing riparian
ecosystems. A multitude of biotic arid physical factors,
many which were unique to riparian ecosystems, interacted
to form a complex and diverse riparian ecosystem.
A total of 256 stands of vegetation representing 60...
Several aspects of cattle grazing behavior and distribution
were studied on mountain rangeland dominated by ponderosa pine-
Douglas fir, mixed conifer, and white fir forest communities in
northeastern Oregon.
The association between upland distribution, determined by
forage utilization and by direct cattle observation, and several
habitat factors was studied through...
Research was conducted in a mixed-coniferous forest stand
that was clearcut, burned, and seeded in order to study early plant
succession, grazing influences on native and introduced species, big
game use, and environmental relationships vegetation, animal,
and environmental research was carried out from 1965 to 1967 in
three, five-acre exclosures...
A trial was conducted May 1 to September 4, 1989 at the Eastern
Oregon Agricultural Research Center (EOARC) Burns, OR to examine the
effects of strip or continuous grazing management on the diet and
performance of steers grazing native flood meadows. The objective was
to determine if strip grazing would...
