Grazing Ecology and Management

Grazing Ecology and Management Grasslands and grassland plants; prototypical grassland communities Ecological principles and grazing Response of individual plants to grazing Response of populations and communities to grazing (HIVC) Succession and range condition Woody plant invasion of desert grassland sites Response of ecosystems to grazing Grazing and the hydrological cycle Grazing and invasive plants

Grazing Ecology and Management Nutritional requirements and forage quality Principles of grazing management Stocking rate calculations Mixed species grazing Grazing systems Range livestock in Arizona Management in variable environments
