Long-Term Dynamics in Plant Abundance and Spatial Variation in Response to Grazing Systems, Precipitation and Mesquite Cover

Long-Term Dynamics in Plant Abundance and Spatial Variation in Response to Grazing Systems, Precipitation and Mesquite Cover

Higher stocking density under seasonal-rotation grazing is expected to increase plant abundance because expanded animal distribution and reduced selective grazing on forage species will reduce the spatial variation and competitive advantage of non-forage species compared to yearlong grazing. Rangela...
