Long‐term cattle grazing effects on soil chemistry in the Rough Fescue grassland

摘要：

The Rough Fescue grasslands in western Canada are highly productive but sensitive to summer grazing.This can lead to overgrazing and subsequently soil degradation, which includes increased soil crusting, reduced soil infiltration, and enhanced soil erosion susceptibility (Manzano and Návar,2000 ), which results in the loss of soil nutrients.Therefore, an experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of 58‐yr of cattle grazing on soil properties in a Rough Fescue grassland.
