Justification for Grazing Intensity Experiments: Analysing and Interpreting Grazing Data [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1988 Grazing trials in which treatments are compared at only 1 gruing intensity greatly outnumber those in which treatments are compared at several grazing intensities. This suggests that, compared to other treatments and the need for replication in grazing trials, researchers consider grazing intensity lower in priority.

Grazing intensity's effects on rangeland vegetation
Mongolian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2022 Mongolia is a massive, semi-arid country in central Asia that encompasses 1,500,000 km2, with grasslands making up around 75% of the territory. These grasslands have long supported herders and are important for grazing animals. However, one of the most severely impacted ecosystems in the world is the Mongolian rangeland, and approximately 70% of the ...

BMC Ecology, 2009 Background Current nature conservation in semi-natural grasslands often includes grazing and hay cutting, as well as the abandonment of draining. Semi-natural grassland and in particular meadows constitute important habitat type for a large number of ...

Rangelands, 2000 G razing management on rangelands is based on controlling the intensity, timing, frequency, and selectivity of grazing animals. Grazing intensity has been considered to be the most critical of these factors because high intensity grazing damages the eaten plants. Considerable controversy has existed over how grazing intensity should be measured.

Grazing effects on vegetation dynamics in the savannah ecosystems of the Sahel
Ecological Processes, 2023 Background The savannah ecosystems of Sahel have experienced continuous and heavy grazing of livestock for centuries but still, their vegetation response to grazing pressure remains poorly understood.

Grazing regime alters plant community structure via patch‐scale diversity in semiarid grasslands
Ecosphere, 2021 Selective grazing of livestock creates lightly and heavily grazed vegetation patches, which together contribute to the whole community in grazed grasslands.

Modeling the spatial distribution of grazing intensity in Kazakhstan. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2019 With increasing affluence in many developing countries, the demand for livestock products is rising and the increasing feed requirement contributes to pressure on land resources for food and energy production. However, there is currently a knowledge gap in our ability to assess the extent and intensity of the utilization of land by livestock, which is ...

The Impact of Grazing on the Grass Composition in Temperate Grassland
Agronomy, 2020 Grazing is one of the predominant human activities taking place today inside protected areas, with both direct and indirect effects on the vegetation community. We analyzed the effects of grazing intensity on grass composition during four grazing seasons

Biology, 2021 Currently we are observing a drastic decline in insect fauna on a large scale. Grazing is regularly used as an ecological method of protecting or restoring special biotopes that are important for species conservation. The European bison (Bison bonasus (L.

Diversity, 2022 Understanding the mechanisms of diversity–productivity relationships is a central question in community ecology. Grazing is the main driving force affecting biodiversity, function, and stability of grassland ecosystems, and thus should play an important ...
