A survey of grazed and ungrazed grassland in the south‐eastern Transvaal highveld 1. Palatability composition and grazing capacity

Journal of the Grassland Society of Southern Africa, 1990
The floristic composition of selected veld communities which by virtue of their location were ungrazed, but regularly burned, and which were judged to reflect potential floristic composition, was measured at 112 sites in the south-eastern Transvaal Highveld.

Distance from Water as a Factor in Grazing Capacity of Rangeland

Journal of Forestry, 1947
Abstract An important factor influencing use of range forage is nearness to water supply. The author points out how intensity of grazing use declines with increased distance from water. Applying these results to a specific pasture made possible a correction in ordinary range-carrying capacity estimates to values in accordance with ...

Seasonal forecasts for the Limpopo Province in estimating deviations from grazing capacity

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2018
Application of seasonal forecasts in agriculture has significant potential and realized utility. Other sectors that may also benefit from using seasonal forecasts include (but are not limited to) health, hydrology, water, and energy. This paper shows that seasonal forecast model data, satellite Pour l’Observation de la Terre (SPOT), dry matter ...

Veld composition in relation to grazing capacity.

2007
Present methods of evaluating veld composition in relation to grazing capacity can be criticised on grounds of subjectivity, especially with regard to the assignment of relative values to the constituent species. Data relating to botanical composition and estimated grazing capacity, derived from long-term animal production systems trials, were used to ...

[Effects of compensation capacity and palatability on the dominance of plant species in grazing community].

Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2009
With simulated mowing experiment and field survey, the compensation capacity and dominance shift of nine alpine plant species in grazing community were studied. The results showed that for most test species, there existed definite correlations between their compensation capacity and palatability.

The Grazing Capacity and Stocking Rate of the Gongoshi Grazing Reserve, Adamawa State, Nigeria

2012
This study assessed the grazing capacity and stocking rate of the Gongoshi grazing reserve in Adamawa State, Nigeria. Determination of the grazing capacity was carried out by assessing the forage yield,  while forage yield was assessed by clipping of desirable herbage within a series of quadrants (1m2 in size) distributed randomly along the ...

Evaluation of Landscape-Level Grazing Capacity for Domestic Sheep in Alpine Rangelands

Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2014
Balancing the number of grazing animals with the level of plant resources is a core issue in grazing management. Complete, full-coverage vegetation surveys are often used for this purpose, but these are expensive undertakings. We have presented a method to downscale information from regional sampling surveys by poststratification using a land cover map

Determining Common Use Grazing Capacities by Application of the Key Species Concept

Journal of Range Management, 1965
Correct substitution rates of one grazing animal for another under common use take place at uniform rates, being governed at any point by the utilization standard of some single species. The capacity under common use may be grealer than that realized with the less suited animal alone, or greater than either animal alone, depending upon the particular ...
