Rotational stocking theoretically enables regrazing of regrowth, but regrowth may be limited
in xerophytic vegetation. We tested the hypothesis that regrowth would be slow and fixed in …

Although northern wheatgrass (Agropyron dasystachyum (Hook.) Scribn.) is a dominant or
co-dominant species that decreases under grazing in northern Mixed Prairie, little is known …

Aims Tiller recruitment of perennial grasses in mixed-grass prairie primarily occurs from
belowground buds. Environmental conditions, such as temperature, soil moisture and …

Compositional shifts of bunchgrass species in the Southern Tall Grassveld in response to
different combinations of non-selective mowing and burning appear to reflect differences in …

A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of moderate (14 cm) vs.
severe (7 cm) defoliation on tiller recruitment and mortality within the interior and on the …

Our objective was to determine the short-term response of bluebunch wheatgrass and
medusahead to defoliation of wheatgrass designed to stimulate regrowth through tillering …

Core Ideas Defoliation management resulted in a wide range of plant responses that varied
by year, with deleterious responses more evident in the second year. Greater leaf/stem …

Perennial forage grasses in the Northern Great Plains are often grazed under water-limiting
conditions. The effects of defoliation and soil moisture dynamics on herbage yield, tiller …

The objective was to determine how the frequency and intensity of defoliation of tall oat
grass [Arrhenatherum elatius (L.) Presl.], affected (i) annual dry‐matter (DM) …

The ability to regulate the severity (frequency and intensity) of plant defoliation is a major
goal of grazing resource managers. Accomplishing this goal will require the integration of …
