The impact of rotational grazing on biomass characteristics in boreal alluvial meadows [PDF]

Journal of Central European Agriculture
Northern Boreal alluvial meadows are semi-natural habitats that require extensive management. They also have lower productivity as compared to cultivated grasslands. The subsidies for keeping meadow habitats open are currently activity-based, not results-

Rotational Stocking with Virtual Fences: Effects on Grassland Diet Digestibility, Livestock Performance and Stress Levels of Heifers

XXV International Grassland Congress (IGC 2023), 2023
Virtual fencing is an innovative technology for simplified, less laborious dynamic grazing management and remote animal monitoring. The effect of this novel technology on animal welfare is still a matter of debate. Previous research suggests no differences in stress experience responses of cattle between the two fencing systems on continuously stocked ...

ENERGY ESTIMATE AND CARBON STOCK IN SHORT-ROTATION EUCALYPTUS STANDS [PDF]

CERNE, 2016
ABSTRACT The use of biomass as an alternative energy source has been gaining attention because of its energy characteristics and environmental contribution and because it is renewable in short production periods. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the biomass production and carbon sequestration of eucalyptus grown under different conditions ...
