Annual and seasonal changes in mineral contents (Ca, Mg, P, K and Na) of grazed clover-grass mixtures in organic farming [PDF]
, 2006 A grazed field experiment was established in 1995 to evaluate alsike clover (Trifoliun hybridum L.), red clover (Trifolium pratense L.) and white clover (Trifolium repens L.) in clover-grass mixtures under organic farming practices.

Survival of white, red and alsike clover at pasture under Nordic organic farming conditions [PDF]
, 2003 White clover suited best for cow grazing under organic farming conditions in Middle Finland. However, the clover proportion of all clover mixtures decreased from year to year and varied within grazing ...

Chalk streams and grazing mute swans [PDF]
, 2014 The evidence shows that swan grazing can reduce plant abundance, prevent flowering, reduce water depth and reduce fishery value. However, these effects seem to be limited to a small number of sites on larger chalk streams.

Forage Brassica Variety Trial [PDF]
, 2015 Forage brassicas can provide a near-concentrate type diet late in the grazing season. This allows for an extra grazing opportunity after summer annuals are harvested or to supplement perennial cool season pasture during the fall months.

Seafloor Characterization from Spatial Variation of Multibeam Backscatter vs. Grazing Angle [PDF]
, 2001 Backscatter vs. grazing angle, which can be extracted from multibeam backscatter data, depend on characteristics of the multibeam system and the angular responses of backscatter that are characteristic of different seafloor properties, such as sediment ...
