Long-term ecological research in southern Brazil grasslands: Effects of grazing exclusion and deferred grazing on plant and arthropod communities [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Grazing exclusion may lead to biodiversity loss and homogenization of naturally heterogeneous and species-rich grassland ecosystems, and these effects may cascade to higher trophic levels and ecosystem properties.

Effect of Sheep Grazing, Stocking Rates and Dolomitic Limestone Application on the Floristic Composition of a Permanent Dryland Pasture, in the Montado Agroforestry System of Southern Portugal [PDF]
Animals, 2022 The Montado is a complex agroforestry–pastoral ecosystem due to the interactions between soil–pasture–trees–animals and climate. The typical Montado soil has an acidic pH and manganese toxicity, which affect the pasture’s productivity and pasture ...

AgriEngineering, 2023 Deferred grazing (DG) consists in adapting the number of animals and the number of days grazed to the availability of pasture. Compared to continuous grazing (CG), which is based on a permanent and low stocking rate, DG is a management strategy that aims

Model Development for a Deferred-Grazing System [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1973 Highlight: A model of the early growth of an annual pasture and liveweight response of grazing sheep was built using first order differential equations to study the practice of deferred grazing. The dynamic behavior of the system over time was simulated by solving the equations on a computer.

Influence of deferred grazing on vegetation dynamics and livestock productivity in an Andean pastoral system [PDF]
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2004 Summary Management recommendations intended to reduce rangeland degradation and increase livestock productivity often assume equilibrium conditions wherein vegetation and herbivore dynamics are tightly coupled. Recent research in Africa, Asia and North America, however, suggests that the dynamics of some arid systems are driven more by precipitation ...
