Impact of livestock grazing management on carbon stocks: a case study in sparse elm woodlands of semi-arid lands [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Livestock grazing is a widespread practice in human activities worldwide. However, the effects of livestock grazing management on vegetation carbon storage have not been thoroughly evaluated. In this study, we used the system dynamic approach to simulate

Sensitivity of Winter-Active Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) to Different Grazing Regimes
Agronomy, 2018 Lucerne (alfalfa; Medicago sativa L.) is the key forage for grazing in dryland temperate regions around the world. While rotational grazing of lucerne is recommended, in southern Australia the intervals between grazing events are often chosen in an ...

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.

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 ...
