Effect of rotational grazing on plant and animal production

Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2017
It is a common understanding that rotational cattle grazing provides better yields than continuous grazing, but a quantitative analysis is lacking in agricultural literature. In rotational grazing, cattle periodically move among paddocks in contrast to continuous grazing, in which the cattle graze on a single plot for the entire grazing season.

A review of high nature value farming systems in Europe: Biodiversity, ecosystem services, drivers, innovations and future prospects

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Farming systems of high natural and cultural value represent approximately 30% of farmlands in the European Union and are associated with a high species and habitat diversity and/or the presence of species of European conservation concern. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the assessment of biodiversity and ecosystem ...

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 ...

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.

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

Effects of Surface Characteristics on the Existence of Isolated Permafrost in Northeastern Mongolia

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Isolated patches of permafrost, where ground thermal changes are affected by ecosystem factors such as vegetation cover rather than climate, may be vulnerable to environmental disturbances in semiarid regions. However, the impacts of ecosystem factors remain underevaluated in Mongolia.

Soil Carbon Dynamics, Sequestration Potential, and Physical Characteristics Under Grazing Management in Regenerative Organic Agroecosystems

Agronomy
Rotational grazing and cover crops are conservation practices known to improve soil health, particularly soil organic carbon (SOC) and aggregate stability. Combining both practices may enhance these benefits more than either alone.

THE EFFECT OF ROTATIONAL GRAZING ON FLORISTIC COMPOSITION AND YIELD OF Ranunculo repentis – Alopecuretum pratensis HILLY GRASSLAND [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2004
In the years 2001 and 2002 the effect of the introduction of the whole year rotational grazing with different post-grazing target sward heights (4 cm in the treatment 1, and 7 cm in the treatment 2) on the yield and changes in floristic composition of ...
