Factors associated with trends in bare ground in high country [PDF]
, 2005 Environment Canterbury has responsibility for promoting sustainable management of the region’s natural resources. Soil erosion in the Canterbury high country has been a long-term concern, and was the subject of the problem brought to MISG. Pre-European

An agent-based model of cattle grazing toxic Geyer's larkspur.
PLoS ONE, 2018 By killing cattle and otherwise complicating management, the many species of larkspur (Delphinium spp.) present a serious, intractable, and complex challenge to livestock grazing management in the western United States.

ANALYSIS OF THE RISK MANAGEMENT PROPERTIES OF GRAZING CONTRACTS VERSUS FUTURES AND OPTION CONTRACTS [PDF]
A stochastic budget simulator and generalized stochastic dominance are used to compare the risk management properties of grazing contracts to futures and option contracts.

Frontiers in MicrobiologyGrazing has been shown to impact the soil environment and microbial necromass carbon (MNC), which in turn regulates soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the carbon sequestration potential of fungi and bacteria under different stocking rates remains ...

Monitoring Productivity of A UK Dairy System Aiming to Increase Soil Carbon, based on Diverse Swards and Incorporating Mob Grazing [PDF]
, 2013 There is interest in increasing soil organic matter (SOM), both to improve plant productivity, and augment carbon sequestration. One practice that may contribute to increasing SOM is a “mob grazing” approach.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF CONTROLLING LEAFY SPURGE WITH SHEEP [PDF]
Leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula L.), a widely established exotic, noxious, perennial weed, is a major threat to rangeland and wildland in the Upper Great Plains. Chemical, biological, and cultural control methods have limitations in their applicability and

A study on the effect of sward conditions on herbage accumulation during winter and spring : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]
, 1999 Recently there has been an increased trend for farmers to adopt farm systems that operate at a reduced stocking rate, with the aim to improve per hectare production through achieving higher production per cow.

Optimal grazing management rules in semi-arid rangelands with uncertain rainfall [PDF]
We study optimal adaptive grazing management under uncertain rainfall in a discrete-time model. As in each year actual rainfall can be observed during the short rainy season, and grazing management can be adapted accordingly for the growing season, the ...
