Other claims from this paper (10)
- Association Total shrub and tree cover explained much variation in forage yield.
- Association Surface soil organic nitrogen explained much variation in forage yield.
- Association Surface soil organic carbon explained much variation in forage yield.
- Observation Nitrogen differences were considered to arise from differential erosion and were characterized more accurately by laboratory measures than field erosion observations.
- Observation Perennial grasses dominated plots exclosed from grazing.
- Association Composition differences contributed little to variation in digestible forage yield because nearly all species were edible.
- Observation Perennial forbs such as Sclerolaena diacantha had the highest digestibility.
- Observation Biennial grasses such as Stipa variabilis had the lowest digestibility.
- Recommendation The authors recommend total shrub and tree cover for monitoring pastoral productivity.
- Recommendation The authors recommend erosion extent and severity for monitoring pastoral productivity.
