A study was conducted in the Texas Rolling Plains to test the hypotheses that short-duration graxing increases plant density and diversity in grasslands. Densities of 9 species of winter annual forbs and 2 species of annual grass were compared in short-duration grazed and ungrazed areas for 2 years. Livestock grazing In spring and early summer affected density of 8 winter ammals the following winter. Densities of 2 grasses [uttle barley (Ifor&um pusilhun NW.) and six-weeks fescue (Vu&Sa octofloru [Wait.] Rydb.)] and 3 forbs [common broomweed (Xmrthoce&zIi~~ drocunculoides DC.l), Gordon’s bladderpod (Lesguetella Gordonii [Gray] Wats.), and Texas filaree (Ero&m texanwn Gray.)] were higher in grazed areas; 3 forbs pitterweed (Hymenoxys odoruta DC.), spurge (Euphorbia sp.), and woolly piaintain (Phw&go patugonica Jacq.) were more abundant in exclosures. Richness and diversity of winter ammals generally were not affected by grazing. Increased precipitation during germination and establishment greatly increased the density of winter annuals.
