Harry Stobbs Memorial Lecture: Can grazing behavior support innovations in grassland management?

Tropical Grasslands-Forrajes Tropicales, 2013
Grazing is a fundamental process affecting grassland ecosystem dynamics and functioning. Its behavioral components comprise how animals search for feed, and gather and process plant tissues in different spatio-temporal scales of the grazing process ...

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 ...

Livestock grazing intensity affects abundance of Common shrews (Sorex araneus) in two meadows in Denmark

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 ...

Impacts of Rotational Grazing on Soil Carbon in Native Grass-Based Pastures in Southern Australia.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Rotational grazing management strategies have been promoted as a way to improve the sustainability of native grass-based pasture systems. From disturbance ecology theory, rotational grazing relative to continuous grazing can increase pasture productivity

Can cattle grazing contribute to butterfly habitat? Using butterfly behavior as an index of habitat quality in an agroecosystem

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The provision of habitat on private agricultural land is vital to the persistence of native species. This study aimed to understand how cattle grazing management strategies influence butterfly behavior.

Simulating rotational grazing management

Environment International, 2001
Dairy systems predominantly based on rotational grazing are notoriously hard to manage. In order to ensure profitability, this type of production requires quite good organisation, planning, and operating capability on the part of the farmer. A simulation-based decision support system, called SEPATOU, has been developed for this purpose.

Carbon Stock and Change Rate under Different Grazing Management Practices in Semiarid Pastoral Ecosystem of Eastern Ethiopia

Land, 2022
Grazing management strategies tend to have different effects on rangeland plant production. Changes in grazing management can, therefore, affect the carbon stock potential of rangelands.

Global meta-analysis reveals different grazing management strategies change greenhouse gas emissions and global warming potential in grasslands

Geography and Sustainability
Grazing management significantly influences greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and the global warming potential (GWP) in grasslands. Yet, a limited understanding of the impact of grazing and grazing exclusion on GHG emissions and GWP in grasslands hinders ...

Herbage accumulation and grazing losses on Mulato grass subjected to strategies of rotational stocking management

Scientia Agricola, 2013
Grazing management strategies affect not only herbage accumulation but also the efficiency of grazing. This study aimed to evaluate herbage accumulation (leaf, stem and dead material), grazing efficiency and losses of mulato grass (a Brachiaria ...
