| Summary | Light grazing maintained plant diversity, lowered insect populations and decreased methane levels, indicating complex management tradeoffs. The results reveal important management tradeoffs relative to key response variables. In general, light cattle grazing at springs appears to be desirable from an ecosystem function perspective. |
