Effects of grazing pressure on plant species composition and water presence on bofedales in the Andes mountain range of Bolivia [PDF]
Mires and Peat, 2018 Bofedales are high-Andean peatland plant communities with high capacity for water retention, which are regarded as oases of biodiversity. These areas have great social and economic value for livestock grazing, which plays an important role in their ...

Improving carbon sequestration estimation through accounting carbon stored in grassland soil
MethodsX, 2020 Based on international guidelines, the elaboration of national carbon (C) budgets in many countries has tended to set aside the capacity of grazing lands to sequester C as soil organic carbon (SOC).

Changes in Vegetation and Grazing Capacity following Honey Mesquite Control [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1982 Honey mesquite kill and suppression, vegetation response, and changes in grazing use and capacity were evaluated following brush control in north-central Texas. Tree grubbing was most effective for eliminating honey mesquite, but because of soil and plant damage the treatment did not increase grazing capacity or improve range condition compared to ...

OPTIMIZATION OF GRAZING CAPACITY IN TEMPORARY PASTURE CROPS, GRAZED WITH SHEEP, IN HILL AREAS
Scientific Papers Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2023 The researches performed in the Caransebeş hill area made evident the opportunities of the temporary pasture crops consisted of intensive red clover and perennial graminaceous associations. Each type of the associations studied produced the biggest DM yields under conditions of direct grazing with animals, at an animal load of 2 UVM/ha.
