Managing the Environmental Impacts of Outdoor Winter Grazing by Livestock
New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 4, August 2026.This review presents a synthesis of current knowledge about managing the potential impacts of outdoor animal wintering activities and their consequences for a range of environmental outcomes. The scope is confined to field‐based wintering approaches and thus, does not consider issues associated with the winter use of animal shelters or standoff systems.

South Florida Flatwoods Range Vegetation Responses to Season of Deferment from Grazing [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1994 Wiregrass (Aristida stricta Michx.)-dominated communities characterize extensive areas of South Florida that have been subjected to burning and uncontrolled grazing for decades. We evaluated the effects of deferment from grazing on species composition and herbage mass of these rangelands.

Transactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 5, August 2026.ABSTRACT Land consolidation aims to mitigate fragmentation, enhance efficiency, and improve agricultural productivity, yet fragmented holdings often increase costs and reduce land use efficiency. This study introduces a hybrid three‐stage GeoAI framework that combines spatial evaluation, individual preference modeling, and cooperative negotiation to ...

Performance of dairy heifers grazing on Urochloa decumbens pastures deferred for two periods
Acta Scientiarum: Animal Sciences, 2014 Voluntary intake and performance of dairy heifers grazing on Urochloa decumbens pastures with two deferral periods are evaluated. The totally randomized experimental design consisted of two treatments and seven replications, with two deferral periods: T1

Tax Policy and Farm Organization
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 780-796, July 2026.ABSTRACT The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) introduced substantial changes to the tax code, affecting farms' organizational incentives. This study examines farms' responses to the TCJA along extensive and intensive margins, focusing on organizational and labor expense adjustments.

Ecohydrology, Volume 19, Issue 5, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT Continuous grazing in riparian zones has degraded water quality and vegetation health in Skunk Creek, southeastern South Dakota. In response, the Seasonal Riparian Area Management (SRAM) programme was introduced in 2013 as a voluntary conservation initiative to defer grazing during the growing season within the 100‐year floodplain and promote ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1194-1206, July 2026.Using a unique 35‐year dataset, this study shows that domestic livestock do not facilitate wild large herbivores as predicted by the grazing optimization hypothesis. Instead, competition caused avoidance of cattle by elk which intensified under drought, and highlights how climate change influences interactions among domestic and wild large herbivores ...

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2026.We evaluated the impacts of grazing, climatic variability, and vegetation productivity on the population dynamics of a northern Great Plains greater sage‐grouse population. We found winter temperature influenced annual population growth rates, but did not detect influences of drought, breeding season weather, vegetation productivity or short‐term ...

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 498-514, July 2026.Abstract The carbon sink capacity of ecosystems has long been neglected, leading to their degradation and the release of stored carbon, thereby exacerbating climate change. As parties increasingly resort to courts to resolve controversies over the sufficiency of measures to combat climate change, carbon sinks are emerging as a focal point.
