Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Soil moisture was depleted at a higher rate in ungrazed plots than in grazed plots from 13 April to 1 July in both paddocks.
- Intervention effect After 1 July, soil moisture was depleted at a higher rate in grazed plots than in ungrazed plots in the early-grazed paddock.
- Intervention effect After 1 July there was no difference in soil moisture depletion rate in the late-grazed paddock.
- Intervention effect Total cumulative soil moisture depletion was greater in ungrazed than in grazed plots in the early-grazed paddock from 6 June to 13 August.
- Intervention effect Total cumulative soil moisture depletion was greater in ungrazed than in grazed plots in the late-grazed paddock from 23 May to 30 July.
- Observation By 25 September there was no difference in total soil water depletion between grazed and ungrazed treatments.
- Observation By 25 September, ungrazed plots extracted relatively more water in the mid and lower portions of the soil profile.
- Intervention effect Grazing had no effect on predawn leaf water potential before 1 July.
- Intervention effect After 1 July, predawn leaf water potential was lower in ungrazed plants than in grazed plants.
- Intervention effect Before 1 July, midday leaf water potential was lower in grazed plants than in ungrazed plants.
- Intervention effect After 1 July, midday leaf water potential did not differ between grazed and ungrazed plants.
- Intervention effect Time of grazing had no effect on predawn or midday leaf water potentials.
