- Association Increasing grazing intensity tended to increase forage nitrogen concentration.
- Association Increasing grazing intensity tended to decrease forage fiber concentration.
- Intervention effect Heavy grazing yielded 83% as much above-ground dry matter as light grazing.
- Intervention effect Medium grazing yielded 90% as much above-ground dry matter as light grazing.
- Intervention effect Heavy grazing yielded 87% as much above-ground carbon as light grazing.
- Intervention effect Medium grazing yielded 90% as much above-ground carbon as light grazing.
- Observation Disappearance pools were similar across grazing intensities except for digestible organic matter.
- Intervention effect Heavy grazing produced 116% of the light-grazing disappearance pool of digestible organic matter.
- Intervention effect Under heavy grazing, residual vegetative dry matter was 41% of that under light grazing.
- Intervention effect Under heavy grazing, residual digestible organic matter was 50% of that under light grazing.
- Intervention effect Under heavy grazing, residual carbon was 36% of that under light grazing.
- Intervention effect Under heavy grazing, residual nitrogen was 52% of that under light grazing.
- Observation Including fecal carbon significantly increased total residual carbon.
- Observation Estimated fecal carbon supplied 68% of litter carbon inputs under heavy grazing.
- Observation Estimated fecal carbon supplied 51% of litter carbon inputs under medium grazing.
- Observation Estimated fecal carbon supplied 42% of litter carbon inputs under light grazing.
- Observation Grazing intensity did not affect estimated excreted nitrogen pools.
