The Effects Of Climate And Grazing Practices On Short-Grass Prairie Vegetation : In Southern Alberta And Southwestern Saskatchewan

A federal research study of short-grass prairie ecology, this 1943 Department of Agriculture publication examines how climate conditions and grazing practices affected native grassland vegetation in southern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan. The authors outline the experimental range areas and research methods, then analyze plant growth, forage production, and vegetation response to varying grazing pressures. Additional chapters address the combined impact of climate and grazing, the use of grazing rotation, and practical approaches to the maintenance and management of prairie rangelands.
