A Global Assessment of Long-Term Greening and Browning Trends in Pasture Lands Using the GIMMS LAI3g Dataset [PDF]

Remote Sensing, 2013
Pasture ecosystems may be particularly vulnerable to land degradation due to the high risk of human disturbance (e.g., overgrazing, burning, etc.), especially when compared with natural ecosystems (non-pasture, non-cultivated) where direct human impacts ...

Thermal sum (degrees-days) rest period as a grazing management tool in natural grasslands: Effects on animal performance and forage production

Environmental and Sustainability Indicators, 2021
This study evaluates the use of thermal sum rest periods on natural grassland as a grazing management tool. We evaluated the impact of this grazing management on vegetation and its effects on the performance of beef heifers in the Pampa biome (southern ...

Problems of Efficient Use of Natural Pastures

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2021
Abstract The North-Eastern part of Russia is a large territory with a harsh climate. Here temperature range from -65 C to +35 C. Soil is cryosolic and pale-yellow. Native people living on that territory cultivate crops, breed horses, reindeers, and livestock animals. More than 90% of agriculturally used areas is a forage land.
