LandFunctional zoning diversifies the management of grazing intensity within protected areas (PAs). However, the complexity makes it difficult to assess grazing intensity and thus understand the effectiveness of PAs in reducing grazing intensity.

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

Estimating Grazing Pressure from Satellite Time Series Without Reliance on Total Production
Remote SensingAccurately assessing grazing impacts is essential for sustaining alpine grasslands. Conventional approaches often rely on total forage productivity, an indirect and uncertain proxy for forage availability.

Does intensive goose grazing affect breeding waders? [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 AbstractIncreasing goose population sizes gives rise to conflicts with human socioeconomic interests and in some circumstances conservation interests. Grazing by high abundances of geese in grasslands is postulated to lead to a very short and homogeneous sward height negatively affecting cover for breeding meadow birds and impacting survival of nests ...
