The response of small mammals to cattle grazing on a coastal meadow with three different grazing intensities was evaluated. Grazed areas tended to hold fewer small mammals than the ungrazed control area, though the variation was high. The negative effect of grazing increased with grazing intensity. Small mammals were caught almost exclusively in patches of high, dense vegetation, and it is suggested that the negative effect of grazing results from the reduced number of such patches
