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.

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 ...

Timing and intensity of goose grazing: Implications for grass height and first harvest
Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2023 Grazing birds like geese can have a big impact on agricultural land, potentially causing damage to crops. Their exploitation of agricultural land varies within and between seasons, and these temporal grazing patterns can be influenced by management.

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 ...

A global meta-analyses of the response of multi-taxa diversity to grazing intensity in grasslands
Environmental Research Letters, 2019 Livestock grazing is an important component and driver of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems. While numerous studies and a few meta-analyses had been conducted on the response of single taxon diversity to grazing in grasslands, a synthesis of how multi-

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.
