Foraging Behavior, Botanical Composition, and Quality of Beef Cattle Diets on Burned Versus Unburned Foothill Rangelands
Current management paradigms suggest deferring grazing rangeland for two years post-fire to avoid additional stress on native grass species, but there is little research supporting these recommendations.This study was conducted within and adjacent to the burn area of a wildfire to evaluate the differences in diet quality, botanical composition, and
