Litter Quality and Nutrient Cycling Affected by Grazing-Induced Species Replacements along a Precipitation Gradient
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2004-10)
One of the potential mechanisms for the impact of herbivores on nutrient cycling is the effect of selective grazing on litter quality through changes in species composition. However, the scarce evidence collected on this ...
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 ...
Prediction of dry matter intake based on ruminal degradation from milking cows grazing coast-cross grass
(Fundação Estudos Agrarios Luiz Queiroz (fealq), 2001-01-01)
Dry matter intake (DMI) of coast-cross grazing by crossbred Holstein-Zebu and Zebu lactating cows was calculated using in vitro dry matter digestibility from extrusa (four esophageal fistulated cows) and fecal output ...
Holistic versus continuous grazing in Patagonia: A station-scale case study of plant and animal production
(Elsevier, 2021-01)
We compared animal and vegetation responses of a 13 600-ha area under holistic grazing management (HGM) with a similar area under continuous grazing (CGM) in a Patagonian station. Limitations were a dry 2012 −2016 experimental ...
Ingestive behaviour, herbage intake and grazing efficiency of beef cattle steers on Tanzania guineagrass subjected to rotational stocking managements
(Sociedade Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2009)
The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the ingestive behaviour, herbage intake and grazing efficiency of beef cattle steers grazing on Panicum maximum Jacq. cv. Tanzania subjected to different rotational stocking ...
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 ...
Abundance and Diversity of Dung Beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) as Affected by Grazing Management in the Nebraska Sandhills Ecosystem
(Entomological Society of America, 2021-02)
Dung beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea) serve a significant role in regulating ecosystem services on rangelands. However, the influence of grazing management on dung beetle communities remains largely unknown. The purpose ...
Responses of vegetation to different land-use histories involving grazing and fire in the North-east Patagonian Monte, Argentina
(Australian Rangeland Society, 2013-06)
In arid and semiarid lands around the world, vegetation is distributed in patches within a bare soil matrix. Vegetation in the North-east Patagonian Monte, Argentina is a shrubland steppe, and patches are dominated by ...
