Exposure May Influence Grassland Establishment

Abstract

This example of the effect of exposure to grassland establishment can be useful to range management. South exposure sites in this climate will only recover to annual vegetation if perennial plants have been destroyed-that is, within a reasonable period of years. Reseeding would be an important consideration. Deferred grazing may not be beneficial on south exposure sites, but very desirable on north exposures where an excellent perennial grass stand could develop.
