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

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

Effects of different grazing intensities on grassland production in China: a meta-analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Grazing is one of the main grassland disturbances in China, and it is essential to quantitatively evaluate the effects of different grazing intensities on grassland production for grassland carbon budget and sustainable use.A meta-analysis was conducted ...

Grazing weakens temporal stabilizing effects of diversity in the Eurasian steppe
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Many biodiversity experiments have demonstrated that plant diversity can stabilize productivity in experimental grasslands. However, less is known about how diversity–stability relationships are mediated by grazing.

Effects of post-grazing forage mass on a beef cattle grazing system on Tanzânia grass pastures
Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2014 The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of grazing intensity on herbage accumulation, animal performance, and total system yield on irrigated Tanzania grass pastures under rotational stocking. The experiment was conducted from October 1999
