Proximal Sensing in Grasslands and Pastures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reliable measures of biomass, species composition, nitrogen status, and nutritive value provide important indicators the status pastures rangelands, allowing managers to make informed decisions. Traditional methods sample collection necessitate significant investments in time labor. Proximal sensing technologies have potential collect more data with a smaller investment However, protocols for conducting pasture assessments proximal sensors are still development, equipment software vary considerably, accuracy utility these differ between sites. This review summarizes currently being developed assess rangelands worldwide discusses emerging context diffusion innovation theory.

متن کاملGreen Governmentality and Pastoralism in Western China: ‘converting Pastures to Grasslands’
One of China’s newest large-scale ‘ecological construction’ projects, ‘converting pastures to grasslands’ (tuimu huancao), calls for the creation of three new types of zones on existing pastures: zones in which grazing is to be permanently banned, zones in which grazing is to cease for a period of several years, and zones in which pasture is to be seasonally closed. This project is likely to si...

Beyond grazing, managed grasslands provide ecological services that may offer economic incentives for multifunctional use. Increasing biodiversity of plant communities may maximize net primary production by optimizing utilization of available light, water, and nutrient resources; enhance production stability in response to climatic stress; reduce invasion of exotic species; increase soil OM; re...
متن کاملMore Stable Productivity of Semi Natural Grasslands than Sown Pastures in a Seasonally Dry Climate
In the Neotropics the predominant pathway to intensify productivity is generally thought to be to convert grasslands to sown pastures, mostly in monoculture. This article examines how above-ground net primary productivity (ANPP) in semi-natural grasslands and sown pastures in Central America respond to rainfall by: (i) assessing the relationships between ANPP and accumulated rainfall and indice...
