Does nature-based solution sustain grassland quality? Evidence from rotational grazing practice in China

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2023
Rotational grazing is considered as one of the nature-based solutions (NbS) to grassland protection by natural scientists. However, its effects on improving grassland quality are still unclear when it is adopted by herders.

Regenerative rotational grazing management of dairy sheep increases springtime grass production and topsoil carbon storage

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Increased traditional dairy sheep production in the Basque Country of northern Spain could substantially affect pasture soils. This type of agricultural land performs vital functions and provides essential ecosystem services.

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

Horse grazing systems: understory biomass and plant biodiversity of a Pinus radiata stand

Scientia Agricola, 2012
Horse grazing systems may affect productivity and biodiversity of understory developed under Pinus radiata D. Don silvopastoral systems, while acting as a tool to reduce the risk of fire.

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 ...
