Choose an answer, then open the working. Each explanation says why the right answer is right and why the others are not.
Species absent from the climax community that colonise a deteriorating range are:
C. Invaders
Dyksterhuis's third group.
A site has 30% decreasers and 25% increasers, of which only 15% may be counted. Its condition score and class are:
D. 45%, fair
30 + 15 = 45, fair (26-50). 55 counts all increasers.
Clipping in 0.25 m2 quadrats gives an average of 30 g dry forage. Production is:
C. 1,200 kg/ha
30/0.25 = 120 g/m2 = 1,200 kg/ha.
Double sampling for forage production combines:
A. Visual estimates plus clipping
Many quick estimates calibrated by a subset of clipping.
Soil pedestals, rills and gullies on a range indicate:
A. Active erosion
Erosion signs show deterioration.
200 ha produce 1,200 kg/ha forage; proper use factor 0.5; 12 kg/AU/day for a year. Carrying capacity is about:
D. 27 AU
200 x 1,200 x 0.5 / (12 x 365) = 27. 55 ignores the use factor.
Usable forage of 120,000 kg with an AUM of 360 kg provides about:
B. 333 AUM
AUM = 120,000 / 360 = 333.
In highly variable climates, stocking is best managed by:
B. Adjust to each year's forage
Flexible stocking avoids drought damage.
Tannins in tree fodder, such as oak leaves, in high amounts:
A. Reduce intake and digestibility
Moderate tannins may protect protein.
Newly reseeded areas should be protected from grazing for at least:
B. One growing season
Until plants are established.
