All species (Sandberg bluegrass, squirreltail, Idaho fes- 

 cue, and junegrass) increased in yield, nitrogen, and 

 phosphorus following tree harvest. Thus, forage quantity 

 and quality are expected to increase following tree har- 

 vest regardless of the exact species composition. Differ- 

 ences in digestibility among grass species suggest that 

 grass yield conversion to Uvestock gains may be over- 

 estimated when species with low digestibility predominate.
