Exclosure
An exclosure, in an area being used extensively for grazing, is a limited area from which cattle (and sometimes wildlife) are excluded by fencing. Exclosures are sometimes constructed by government agencies that manage ranching on public lands -- a practice in which private owners of cattle pay, though often only a nominal sum, for the right to graze their livestock on the public lands. The purpose of the exclosure is to determine what the area would be like (in appearance, ecological characteristics, etc.) if grazing were not permitted.
