Moderating Livestock Grazing Effects on Plant Productivity, Nitrogen and Carbon Storage

摘要: Multi-year studies of plant communities and soils in the Bear River Range southeastern Idaho northeastern Utah found reduced ground cover herbaceous production areas grazed by livestock when compared to reference values or long-term rested areas. Reductions these ecosystem components have lead accelerated erosion losses stored carbon nitrogen. Restoration components, with their associated nitrogen storage, is possible application science-based grazing management. ____________________________________ In Monaco, T.A. et al. comps. 2011.
