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.

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 ...

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 ...

Grasshopper populations respond similarly to multiple moderate intensity livestock grazing treatments [PDF]
Journal of Orthoptera Research, 2020 Livestock grazing frequently affects grasshopper populations, but no prior studies have simultaneously examined a wide range of moderate intensity livestock grazing treatments in the Northern Great Plains.

Behavioral Factors in Rotational Grazing Systems [PDF]
Rangelands, 2009 Many in the range profession are perplexed by the apparent discrepancy between experimental studies suggesting that rotational grazing carries no advantage over continuous grazing1 and the observations of ranchers and range mana gers who have personally seen benefi ts for livestock pro duction and plant communities by shifting to a rotational system.2 ...

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020 Floristic diversity changes substantially depending on the type of land management. We evaluated the impact of a continuous (CG) and rotational (RG) grazing system on the dynamics of plant diversity and community composition in a heather-gorse understory

Ecosphere, 2020 Plateau pikas (Ochotona curzoniae) and plateau zokors (Myospalax baileyi) occur naturally in the alpine meadow of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP). Their feeding and burrowing activities affect plant composition and soil properties (e.g., soil carbon ...
