The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in the quantity, quality, and moisture of available forage in a riparian pasture, and shrub utilization by cattle during a 30-d late summer grazing period. A riparian pasture (44.7 ha) in northeast of Oregon was grazed with 30 yearlings (419 kg,...
Mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), elk (Cervus elaphus), and cattle share rangelands throughout much of interior western North America. Considerable debate exists about the degree to which facilitation or competition occurs for forage between these three species (Nelson 1982, Wisdom and Thomas 1996, Miller 2002). Prior cattle grazing can have beneficial...

The encroachment of alien weeds onto western rangelands is one of the most perilous and perhaps least recognized problems facing land managers today. Oregon rangelands are under siege from ever-increasing numbers and distribution of exotic weeds. They threaten Oregon's economy and environmental quality by reducing livestock forage, wildlife habitat, watershed...
