Plant diversity and botanical composition in an Atlantic heather-gorse dominated understory after horse grazing suspension: Comparison of a continuous and rotational management

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Floristic diversity changes substantially depending on the type of land management. We evaluated the impact of a continuous (CG) and rotational (RG) grazing system on the dynamics of plant diversity and community composition in a heather-gorse understory

The Joint Effect of Grazing Intensity and Soil Factors on Aboveground Net Primary Production in Hulunber Grasslands Meadow Steppe

Agriculture, 2020
The management practices required for grazing management will continue to increase, as necessitated by the reported rate of reduction in productivity, coupled with the degradation of Inner Mongolian steppe ecosystems.

The use of domestic herbivores for ecosystem management in Mediterranean landscapes

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
In the Mediterranean basin, the structure and species composition of traditional landscapes have historically been shaped and maintained by human-driven disturbances, such as extensive livestock grazing.

ASSESSMENT OF GRAZING LAND STATUS, UTILIZATION PRACTICES AND ASSOCIATED CONSTRAINTS IN SOUTH ARI DISTRICT, SOUTHERN ETHIOPIA [PDF]

مجلة الأنبار للعلوم الزراعية
Grazing lands are crucial in sustaining livestock production, particularly in regions where pastoralism is a primary livelihood strategy. This study evaluates the status of grazing lands, their utilization practices, and the constraints affecting their ...

Internal parasite management in grazing livestock [PDF]

Journal of Parasitic Diseases, 2012
It is a challenging task to control internal parasites in grazing livestock even by applying multi label and multi directional approach. It is impossible to draw general recommendations to control parasitic diseases due to varied geo-climatic conditions and methods adopted for rearing the livestock in the country like India.

Climate Effects on Tallgrass Prairie Responses to Continuous and Rotational Grazing

Agronomy, 2019
Cattle grazing is an important economic activity in the tallgrass prairie systems in the Great Plains of the United States. Tallgrass prairie may respond differently to grazing management (e.g., high and low grazing intensity) under variable climate ...

Effects of grazing and mowing on ground-dwelling predatory arthropods in a semi-arid grassland

Ecological Indicators
The arthropod communities are important component in grassland ecosystems and are largely affected by management. However, the information on the effects of different grassland management on ground-dwelling predatory arthropods are very limited ...

Grazing and pasture management for biodiversity benefit [PDF]

Animal Research, 2003
The primary role of grazing animals in grassland biodiversity management is maintenance and enhancement of sward structural heterogeneity, and thus botanical and faunal diversity, by selective defoliation due to dietary choices, treading, nutrient cycling and propagule dispersal.

Management of grazing systems

Proceedings of the New Zealand Grassland Association, 1989
Recent assessments of the relative importance of stocking rate. stocking policy and grazing management on the output from pastoral systems are used as a starting point to argue the need for objective pasture assessments to aid control of livestock enterprises to meet production targets. Variations in stocking rates, stocking policy and other management

Perspectives on conservation grazing: The need for monitoring and communication

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Conservation grazing is widely used to manage open ecosystems, but inconsistent definitions and inadequate reporting of grazing patterns hinder effective communication among researchers, practitioners and policymakers, limiting the understanding and ...
