1970. Influence of competition on the response of Idaho fescue to 

 clipping. USDA Forest Serv. Res. Pap. INT-73, 10 p. 



Partly reducing competition surrounding undipped fescue increased herb- 

 age volume 40 percent and flower stalks 300 percent; eliminating competi- 

 tion tripled volume and increased flower stalks fourfold. The depressant 

 effects of heavy clipping were more than eliminated by partly reducing 

 competition. Eliminating competition more than offset the detrimental 

 effects of extreme clipping.
