Rotational cattle grazing in traditional orchards
, 2019 Combined production of traditional apple varieties and feed grass can be an additional income for smallholder farms. Grazed orchards provide shade for animals, reduce mowing needs, enhance nutrient cycling and biodiversity. Traditional fruit varieties and beef expand the culinary product portfolio of the region.

Age ratio in groups of a social ungulate affects epizoochorous dispersal and diaspore exchanges
Oikos, EarlyView.Animal‐mediated seed dispersal is a key process in plant population dynamics, species distribution and ecosystem functioning. As long‐distance dispersal agents, ungulates help to maintain native plant populations facing abiotic changes in their habitat and habitat fragmentation or habitat loss.

Oikos, EarlyView.Landscape heterogeneity is widely recognized as a driver of biodiversity, yet its consequences for above‐ground, foliage‐dwelling insect communities under active grassland management remain underexplored. Patch‐burn grazing (PBG), which rotates fire across patches within a grazed landscape, is designed to promote spatial and temporal heterogeneity by ...

Grass clover ley species, variety selection and management [PDF]
, 2008 Grass clover leys form the basis of most organic farming systems yet the selection of seed mixtures is often founded on tradition or cost. Based on a review of recent and past research this review provides a wealth of information on grass and legume ...

Justice in coexistence: Pastoralism and large carnivores on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The conflict between livestock husbandry and large carnivore conservation presents significant challenges in grassland ecosystems worldwide. Achieving sustainable coexistence among herders, livestock and large carnivores requires reconciling diverse perspectives and interests through equitable, inclusive and fair processes that address both ...
