Pattern of Retrogression of Native Vegetation in North Central OklahomaThe pattern of retrogression due to grazing for native vegetation was established for the important plants of the loamy prairie range site. Total forb numbers increased as range condition declined but there were usually as many perennial forbs in high condition pastures as in low condition ones. Total available water was significantly greater in excellent condition than poor condition range.

Effects of Manure, Straw and Inorganic Fertilizers on Northern Great Plains RangesOne application of manure, straw and straw - plus - fertilizer increased forage production significantly up to eight years after treatment. Forage on these plots generally contained greater amounts of nutrients than on control plots and the species composition was changed. Fertilization is a valuable range management technique for increasing livestock production.

Effects of Fertilization on a Mixed Stand of Cheatgrass and Intermediate WheatgrassApplied nitrogen increased competition between cheatgrass and intermediate wheatgrass for soil moisture and resulted in death of wheatgrass. Grazing further increased this effect. Forage increases occurred in two of four years but did not justify cost.

Response of Deer and Livestock to Controlled Grazing in Central TexasWhite-tailed deer welfare and production under various intensities of continuous-use grazing by combined cattle, sheep, and angora goats was studied in the Edwards Plateau region of Texas. Under poor range conditions continuous grazing by combined classes of livestock adversely effected deer production through competition for food. Livestock were more efficient competitors for native forage than deer.
