We are having tall net fencing installed around 3 of the plots to prevent cattle and deer from grazing, and short net fencing around another 3 plots to prevent cattle grazing only; the remaining 3 plots will be set up so that cattle and deer can graze. Within each of these plots, we will have 5 replicates of 5 species of native forbs and grasses laid out in a randomized Latin square design. REU students will analyze soil samples, quantify changes in vegetative structure, and estimate arthropod, bird, and mammal abundances<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"993\" height=\"390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/timberlake-field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/132\/2022\/05\/Grazinng-Experiment.jpeg\" alt=\"Grid showing grazing effects on plant species: red (no grazing), yellow (deer), green (cattle and deer).\" class=\"wp-image-972\" style=\"width:566px;height:221px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/timberlake-field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/132\/2022\/05\/Grazinng-Experiment.jpeg 993w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/timberlake-field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/132\/2022\/05\/Grazinng-Experiment-300x118.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/timberlake-field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/132\/2022\/05\/Grazinng-Experiment-600x236.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/timberlake-field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/132\/2022\/05\/Grazinng-Experiment-768x302.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 993px) 100vw, 993px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grazing Experiment TBFS is in the process of having fencing installed for our long-term grazing experiment.
