Creator:

Abedin, Joynal

Abstract:

Traditional season-long livestock grazing strategy on western riparian areas has been identified as one of the factors affecting rangeland productivity as well as wildlife habitat in riparian zones. As alternatives to summer season-long grazing, summer short-duration grazing (without haying), and fall short-duration grazing (following haying), were considered in this study...

An economic comparison of three cattle grazing management strategies intended to improve riparian habitat and water quality

Creator:

Sharp, Jeffrey L.

Abstract:

Grazing of riparian forage by livestock may alter stream channel morphology in ways that impact nearby aquatic habitat, bank stability, vegetative cover and water quality. A number of grazing management practices have been proposed as a means to reduce the amount of time cattle spend in the riparian zone. The...
