Grazing caused continued loss of cover on all grassland studied except the densest; even here deterioration in quality occurred. Regeneration to pre-fire condition occurred within five seasons of a controlled burn in the absence of grazing, but had not occurred after six seasons when grazed. Management implications of the findings are discussed.
