amount utilized by cattle, elk and deer in certain plant communities;
evaluate the interactions of range use between cattle, elk...
Objectives of this study were to determine differences in
herbage production of three seral stages of three habitat-types.
Field studies were conducted in 1967 and 1968 on the Squaw Butte

Twelve, 400-square-foot, paired exclosures were established
in each habitat-type. Herbage was clipped from four, 48-squarefoot
samples in one...
