Grass Growth and Response to Grazing - 6.108 - Extension
There are three important factors that affect how grasses respond to grazing: 1) frequency, 2) intensity and 3) season. Range ecologists and physiologists have found that as grazing increases, grass productivity typically declines. Frequency can be more important than intensity.
Grazing Native Warm-Season Grasses in the Mid-South How Do These Species Compare? These five species are all similar, but have important differences in key characteristics (Table 1). Switchgrass (Fig. 1) is probably the most well-known of these five species in the Mid-South because of the recent interest in

Native Warm-Season Grasses as a Forage in Mississippi: Grazing ...
Native warm-season grasses (NWSG) are indigenous species that were the dominant forage source for roaming buffalo and other grazing animals before European settlement in the United States. These grasses, as their name implies, produce a majority of their aboveground biomass during the warmer months of the year, particularly May t hrough August.
