Seasonal cattle and sheep diets on Festuca arundinacea-Trifolium subterraneum and Lolium perenne-Trifolium subterraneum pastures in western Oregon

Creator:: Bedell, Thomas E.
Abstract:: Sheep and cattle dietary preferences were determined on tall fescue-subclover ( Festuca arundinacea-Trifolium subterraneum) and perennial ryegrass-subclover (Lolium perenne-Trifoliuni subterraneum) pastures in western Oregon during the spring and summer periods of 1964 and 1965. Esophageal-fistulated Willamette ewes and Hereford and Hereford-Angus yearling cattle were grazed separately on each pasture mixture...

Forest associations and secondary plant succession in the southern Oregon coastal range

Creator:: Bailey, Arthur Wesley, 1938-
Abstract:: Forest associations, secondary succession, and relationships of plant communities to Roosevelt elk were investigated. Stratification of vegetation into ecological units and an understanding of secondary succession by habitat-type were a necessary first step in investigations into browsing of conifers by elk. The study was jointly conducted by the Oregon State...

Evaluation of species composition by four methods on two perennial grass pastures (Festuca arundinacae Schreb. and Lolium perenne L.) grazed lightly and heavily in western Oregon

Creator:: Pessot Zorich, Rafael
Abstract:: The present study was undertaken to evaluate the seasonal botanical composition of two grass pastures, tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) and perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). Botanical composition was determined by four methods: dry-weight-rank, weight-estimate, hand separation, and the constituent differential, with cattle and sheep grazing at two intensities. The...

Vegetation and animal responses to grazing crested wheatgrass at three intensities and two seasons in southern Idaho

Creator:: Sharp, Lee Ajax
Abstract:: Land useable for livestock grazing in the western United States is diminishing because of spreading municipalities, irrigation developments, highway construction, recreational demands and withdrawals. Concurrently, the demand for livestock and livestock products is increasing because of a rapidly growing population. As a result, production from the grazing land that remains...

Influence of range improvement practices on composition, production, and utilization of Artemisia deer winter range in central Oregon

Creator:: Urness, Philip J.
Abstract:: Recent emphasis on range improvement of sagebrush-bunch-grass types in Oregon has underscored the need for better understanding of their importance to deer winter range management. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the impact of various sagebrush control practices on the composition, production, and utilization of deer forage plants...

Vegetation-soil relations as a basis for resource management on the Ochoco National Forest of central Oregon

Creator:: Hall, Frederick C.
Abstract:: The study was conducted on the Ochoco National Forest in central Oregon. Vegetation-soil relationships were evaluated for the following objectives: 1. Develop a sound ecological foundation on which total land management decisions may be based. 2. Evaluate forest succession, stocking, and growth to improve management. 3. Develop accurate range condition...

Effects of seeding and grazing on a clearcut-burn in a mixed-coniferous forest stand of the Wallowa mountain foothills

Creator:: Pettit, Russell Dean
Abstract:: 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...

Methodology for cuticular identification of selected eastern Oregon range plants

Creator:: Schrumpf, Barry J.
Abstract:: Animal dietary preferences have been studied by feeding-site examinations, animal observation, and stomach and esophageal collections. Analysis of fecal material for undigested plant cuticle is another means for obtaining the same information. This study was conducted to: (1) prepare a microscope slide series depicting the surface features of leaves and...

Evaluation of dry-weight-rank and microscopic point techniques for seasonal botanical analysis of two pasture mixtures

Creator:: Bauer, Welby
Abstract:: This study was undertaken to evaluate the dry-weight-rank and microscopic point methods for determining botanical composition on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) - subclover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) - subclover pasture mixtures throughout a grazing season. Botanical composition was determined on a monthly basis from...

Herbage production on three vegetation types in the high desert of eastern Oregon

Creator:: Markgraf, Peter Marion
Abstract:: 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 Experimental Range. Twelve, 400-square-foot, paired exclosures were established in each habitat-type. Herbage was clipped from four, 48-squarefoot samples in one...
