The quantification of grazing capacity from grazing — and production values for forage species in semi-arid grasslands of southern Africa

African Journal of Range and Forage Science, 2001
The relation between rangeland condition and grazing capacity was determined along a degradation gradient. In studying agronomic values of forage species, the average production per tuft was combined with its grazing preferences, to link grazing values for species in the semi-arid grasslands of southern Africa.

Construction and evaluation of condition assessment and grazing capacity models for use in grazing management in the Eastern Mixed Bushveld of southern Africa

Journal of Arid Environments, 1995
The Integrated System for Plant Dynamics (ISPD) is a comprehensive system in which new and existing data and knowledge are quantitatively or qualitatively used as a basis for range condition and grazing capacity assessments and for denning appropriate management options to maintain or improve the condition and capability of the range.

Impact of grazing system on rangeland condition and grazing capacity in Zimbabwe

The Rangeland Journal, 2017
The influence of different land tenure and rangeland management systems on rangeland condition and livestock grazing capacity in African rangelands is not well documented. A rangeland condition assessment was carried out at 15 sites located in the communal grazing system, small-scale commercial grazing system and the large-scale commercial grazing ...

Managing agricultural grazing to enhance the carbon sequestration capacity of freshwater wetlands

Wetlands Ecology and Management, 2021
Freshwater wetlands are important carbon sinks with an estimated ~ 450 gigatons of carbon stored in their sediments. However, when disturbed they can become significant sources of carbon emissions. Understanding carbon dynamics in freshwater wetlands is a research priority to maximise carbon drawdown opportunities through effective management.

CHANGES IN THE WATER-HOLDING CAPACITY OF A. DIFFUSA UNDER THE DIFFERENT GRAZING INTENSITIES IN THE CONDITION OF LIVESTOCK GRAZING

2016-yil, 1-son (95) ANIQ VA TABIIY FANLAR SERIYASI, 2023
Soil water holding capacity is an important indicator of its ability to retain moisture and support plant growth. This study investigated the variation in water-holding capacity (WHC) characteristics of Artemisia diffusa, a common forage plant ...
