Vegetation C: N: P stoichiometry and ecosystem carbon storage under different grazing patterns on the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionGrazing is a significant driver of grassland ecosystems changes, but the relationship between plant functional groups’ carbon (C): nitrogen (N): phosphorus (P) stoichiometry ratios and ecosystem C storage under different grazing management ...

Animals, 2022 This study aimed to evaluate the effects of concentrate supplementation on the growth performance, serum biochemical parameters, rumen fermentation, and bacterial community composition of grazing yaks during the warm season. Eight male yaks (body weight,

Spatial Distribution of Highland Cattle in Alnus viridis Encroached Subalpine Pastures
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Green alder (Alnus viridis) is a shrub species that has expanded over former pastures in Central Europe due to land abandonment, leading to negative agri-environmental impacts, such as a reduction in forage yield and quality and an increase in nitrate ...

Grazing lawns and overgrazing in frequently grazed grass communities [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 AbstractFrequent grazing can establish high forage value grazing lawns supporting high grazer densities, but can also produce overgrazed grass communities with unpalatable or low grass basal cover, supporting few grazers. Attempts to create grazing lawns via concentrated grazing, with a goal to increase grazer numbers, are thus risky without knowing ...

Grazing impact oscillations [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2000 An impact oscillator is a periodically driven system that hits a wall when its amplitude exceeds a critical value. We study impact oscillations where collisions with the wall are with near-zero velocity (grazing impacts). A characteristic feature of grazing impact dynamics is a geometrically converging series of transitions from a nonimpacting period-1

Annual and seasonal changes in production and composition of grazed clover-grass mixtures in organic farming [PDF]
, 2004 A grazed field experiment based on a randomised block design was conducted in Eastern Finland to evaluate the potential of alsike clover (Trifoliun hybridum L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.) to support herbage

Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity [PDF]
, 2015 Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted

Animal, 2020 An understanding of the processes involved in grazing behaviour is a prerequisite for the design of efficient grassland management systems. The purpose of managing the grazing process is to identify sward structures that can maximize animal forage daily ...
