<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>Measures the height and abundance of tall oatgrass and the cover of all vascular species and ground cover before and after cattle grazing in 40 grazed and ungrazed (caged) plots.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Tall oatgrass is a non-native grass species that is invading upland grasslands at a rapid pace. We have uncertainty on how to best manage the species and how management such as intensive grazing, which was implemented in 2015 influences native vegetation and tall oatgrass abundance in the long-term. This study examines the efficacy of grazing as a management tool in the containment zone.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
