Livestock grazing constrains bird abundance and species richness: a global meta-analysis
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2021-11)
Balancing food production and biodiversity conservation is a global challenge today. Livestock grazing is one of the main activities triggering habitat degradation and land-use change around the world. Its effects on ...
Livestock grazing constraints bird abundance and species richness: a global meta-analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-08)
Balancing food production and biodiversity conservation is a global challenge today. Livestock grazing is one of the main activities triggering habitat degradation and land-use change around the world. Its effects on ...
Grazing dynamics on a Caribbean reef-building coral
Corals in certain Caribbean coral reef habitats are constantly grazed-on due to the territorial marking behavior of the stoplight parrotfish Sparisoma viride. We studied the grazing dynamics on the Caribbean reefbuilding ...
Sustainable grazing management in rangelands: Over a century searching for a silver bullet
(Elsevier Science, 2019-11-01)
Rangelands represent 91% of the surface devoted to livestock production and a high proportion of them are exposed to some sort of degradation. Considerable research interest has been centered in the effect of grazing ...
Continuous moderate grazing management promotes biomass production in Patagonian arid rangelands
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-02)
Domestic grazing effects on primary productivity and community structure are controversial in rangeland ecology and frequently misunderstood. Although directly related with secondary production, biomass stock and biomass ...
Regional productivity mediates the effects of grazing disturbance on plant cover and patch-size distribution in arid and semi-arid communities
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-08)
Patch‐size distribution and plant cover are strongly associated to arid ecosystem functioning and may be a warning signal for the onset of desertification under changes in disturbance regimes. However, the interaction ...
GRAZING MANAGEMENT, AMMONIA AND NITROUS OXIDE EMISSIONS: A GENERAL VIEW
(Sociedad Chilena de la Ciencia del Suelo, 2007)
Rangeland grazing management in Argentine Patagonia
(Friends Science Publishers, 2020-11)
Stocking rate adjustment in grazing management is recommended as a management tool to sustain productivity and improve soil health of permanent grassland ecosystems. The aim of this project was to assess the effect of ...
Aridity and grazing as convergent selective forces: an experiment with an Arid Chaco bunchgrass
(Wiley, 2010-10)
It has been proposed that aridity and grazing are convergent selective forces: each one selects for traits conferring resistance to both. However, this conceptual model has not yet been experimentally validated. The aim ...
Grazing increases evapotranspiration without the cost of lowering soil water storages in arid ecosystems
(2017-09)
Grazing is the predominant land use practice in arid environments; however, there are relatively few studies of grazing effects on ecosystem functioning. We assessed the impact of grazing on soil moisture, evapotranspiration ...
