The Management of Pastures for Grazing

Outlook on Agriculture, 1995
This article examines pasture management in moist temperate climates, and looks at the reasons why putting the findings into practice has been so difficult. Many factors affect the behaviour of the animal-pasture system, including whether continuous or rotational grazing is practised, the intensity of grazing, and seasonal differences in climate and ...

Precision Grazing Management- Understanding Farmer Uptake Of Grazing Software

, 2017
Increased precision in grazing management decisions requires regular pasture measurement and effective use of the data for enhanced decision-making. Technology adoption theory can help to provide insights on the incentives and barriers to uptake and on-farm adaptation of precision farming tools. In this study, we used an inductive workshop process with

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.

Grazing systems and natural capital: Influence of grazing management on natural capital in extensive livestock production systems

Nature-Based Solutions
Using a weight of evidence approach, natural capital outcomes associated with regenerative grazing and silvopastoral systems were compared to those associated with conventional grazing systems.

Social Dilemmas and Public Range Management: Results from the Nevada Ranch Survey [PDF]

Since the late 1960s, the Nevada ranch community has come under increasing pressure from environmental groups regarding their use of public lands for livestock grazing, thus increasing tension between ranchers and public land managers and potentially ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...
