Grassland:
Any plant community dominated by grasses.
Savannah:
Intermediate between grasslands and forests, widely spaced trees.
Glades:
Small, isolated, native grasslands, on hilltops and Southwest facing slopes.
Native Grassland:
Existed before the arrival of European Settlers.
Prairie:
Large, continuous native grasslands; trees and shrubs are nearly absent.
Grass:
Monocot- One seed leaf (cotyledon), fibrous root system.
Forb:
Broad-leaf, non-woody, herbaceous plant’s that are not grasses or legumes.
Legume:
Dicots- two seed leaves (cotyledons), bear fruit in pods.
Unpalatable Weed:
Plants — both grasses and broadleaves— that animals will not consume.
Forages:
Plants primarily grasses and legumes, grown as feed for livestock.
Monocot vs Dicot:
Monocot: One seed leaf
Dicot: Two seed leaves
Rotational Grazing:
Uses two pastures, with animals alternating between the different pastures in a preplanned cycle.
Continuous Grazing:
Only use one pasture to meet the needs of the livestock, which are allowed to graze freely on the plants available.
Management Intensive Grazing:
Form of rotational grazing, moving animals to new pastures when forage is available.
Carrying Capacity Formula:
Annual Forage Production x Seasonal Utilization Rate
Divided by:
Average Daily Intake x Length of Grazing Season
What part of the plant is most digestible?
The Leaves
Pasture vs Hayfield:
Pasture: A grassland enclosed by fencing, used to keep livestock.
Hayfield: May or may not have a fence, used for plants.
Management vs Conservation of Grasslands:
Grassland Management: Use and care of grasslands, changing to increase productivity.
Grassland Conservation: Wise use of grasslands to insure long term sustainability and productivity.
Management Techniques:
Mechanical Harvesting: Cutting forage for hay silage or green chop.
Grazing: Livestock and wildlife, primarily for forages.
