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

Estimation of Spatial-Temporal Distribution of Grazing Intensity Based on Sheep Trajectory Data

Sensors, 2022
In the arid grasslands of northern China, unreasonable grazing methods can reduce the water content and species numbers of grassland vegetation. This project uses solar-powered GPS collars to obtain track data for sheep grazing. In order to eliminate the

Human Impacts on Forest Biodiversity in Protected Walnut-Fruit Forests in Kyrgyzstan [PDF]

, 2014
We used a spatially explicit model of forest dynamics, supported by empirical field data and socioeconomic data, to examine the impacts of human disturbances on a protected forest landscape in Kyrgyzstan.

Differentiated Dairy Grazing Intensity in the Northeast

Journal of Dairy Science, 2000
As the dairy industry in the Northeast experienced difficult economic conditions in the 1990s, grazing was increasingly viewed as an option for feeding dairy cattle. This analysis used a large sample of dairy farms randomly drawn from three states (Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Virginia) in early 1997 to compare important aspects of the farming operations

Asymmetric effects of grazing intensity on macroelements and microelements in grassland soil and plants in Inner Mongolia Grazing alters nutrient dynamics of grasslands

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Grazing is a traditional grassland management technique and greatly alters ecosystem nutrient cycling. The effects of grazing intensity on the nutrient dynamics of soil and plants in grassland ecosystems remain uncertain, especially among microelements ...

Mapping grazing intensity code

, 2023
We propose a framework based on machine learning algorithms for livestock spatialization at a fine scale, which in turn generates an annual gridded dataset of grazing intensity (GDGI)

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.

Impact of European Bison Grazing (Bison bonasus (L.)) on Species and Functional Traits of Carabid Beetle Assemblages in Selected Habitats in Poland

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.

Relationship between Biomass and Biodiversity of Degraded Grassland in the Sanjiangyuan Region of Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

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 ...
