Abstract
As Iowa pastures continue to be dominated by cool-season grass species, strategic integration of a single mob-grazing event into pasture management offers a tool to simultaneously increase productivity of pastures and to improve grassland wildlife habitat through increased biodiversity. However, the success of the maneuver depends on climate, soil and landscape.
