Moderate Grazer Density Stabilizes Forage Availability More Than Patch Burning in Low-Stature Grassland

Moderate Grazer Density Stabilizes Forage Availability More Than Patch Burning in Low-Stature Grassland

Spatially patchy fire creates landscape-level diversity that in turn stabilizes several rangeland ecosystem services, including forage production and habitat availability. To enhance biodiversity and livestock production, efforts are underway to restore fire regimes in rangelands throughout the Grea...
