Cropland and Grassland Management

2014
According to the latest National Inventory, the Italian agricultural sector is a source of GHGs with 34.5 Mt of CO2 eq in 2009, corresponding to 7 % of the total emissions (excluding LULUCF). In particular, more than half (19.1 Mt of CO2 eq) are N2O emissions from soils.

Grassland management for horses

Veterinary Record, 1980
The pasture needs for horses as compared to those for farm livestock are reviewed. The differing preferences of various types of grasses and other plants, and the patterns of grazing seen on"horse-sick" pastures, are discussed. Suggestions for practical management include frequent collection and removal of droppings, the use of grazing by cattle ...

Effects of grassland management on the emission of methane from intensively managed grasslands on peat soil

Plant and Soil, 1997
Methane (CH4) is the most important greenhouse gas next to CO2 and as such it contributes to the enhanced greenhouse effect. Peat soils are often considered as sources of CH4. Grasslands on the other hand are generally considered to be a net sink for atmospheric CH4. The aim of this study was twofold: (i) to quantify the net CH4 emission of intensively

Prediction of grassland quality for environmental management

Journal of Environmental Management, 1995
Fifty plots on grassland on well-drained soil were investigated for land use history and analysed for the species composition of vascular plants, macrofungi, bryophytes, lichens, hepatics and for 20 environmental variables. A DCA ordination showed an overall influence of land use history on species composition.

Managing Chinese Grasslands

Rangelands, 2005
I ndividual leases of large parcels of resources, like grasslands, can adversely impact the livelihoods of traditional pastoral groups. A typical example is the Chinese policy of parceling grasslands into individual leases. The rationale offered for leasing to individuals is that communal management of grasslands in China has led to their haphazard ...

Grassland conservation headlands: Their impact on invertebrate assemblages in intensively managed grassland

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2007
Grassland conservation headlands were established on intensively managed grassland fields on four farms in Scotland. Vegetation composition and structure, invertebrate activity density (as measured by pitfall trapping), ground beetle assemblage structure and bird utilisation in these grassland conservation headlands were compared with conventional ...
