Cropland and Grassland Management
2014According 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, 1980The 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 ...

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, 1995Fifty 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.

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 ...

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 ...

Effects of grassland management on the emission of methane from grassland on peat soils
1995Abstract Net methane (CH4) emissions from managed grassland on peat soils in the Netherlands have been monitored with vented closed flux chambers in the period January–June 1994. Net CH4 emissions from two intensively managed grasslands were low, in general less than 0.1 mg CH4 m−2d−1.

Management of Sports Turf and Amenity Grasslands
2014Grasslands are significantly important vegetation resources that occupy about one-quarter of the earths vegetative surface. Whereas sports turf has been defined as a surface layer of vegetation, consisting of earth and a dense stand of grasses and roots, amenity grasslands have been defined as grasslands which provide recreational, functional, or ...
