Excerpt from Green Fescue Grassland: 40 Years of Secondary Succession, June 1980The 40 - year succession of a depleted green fescue (festuca viridula) subalpine grassland in the Wallowa Mountains, Oregon, was influenced by historic soil erosion. Range conditions of the grass land annually grazed by domestic sheep improved greatly between 1938 and 1978 most of the improvement occurred between the 3oth and 4oth years. Photographs illustrate the changes.Keywords: Grassland management, succession, fescue, Festuca, grazing (range), subalpine grasslands.Improvement of both land and sheep management practices after 1938 initiated secondary succession that was measured and photographed again in 1956, 1968, and 1978.Continued accelerated erosion was not evident in 1956, nor in 1968 and 1978.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
