Reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with ruminant livestock production is important for climate change mitigation. Regenerative Agriculture (RA) practices are increasingly promoted to improve forage and performance in temperate systems. These include i) rotational grazing (RG) of around multiple subunits pasture achieve ungrazed periods ‘rest’, ii) herbal leys (HL), where perennial for...

Small cow-calf operations are common in the Appalachian region. Tall fescue [Lolium arundinaceum (Schreb.) S. J. Darbyshire] is the dominant forage in these systems for direct grazing as well as for stockpiling. The present study was conducted from 2001 to 2005. A total of 108 Angus and Angus crossbred cows were allotted randomly to 6 forage systems and then to 3 replicates within each system. ...

The tall-grass prairies, wetlands and forests that dominated the Iowa landscape have been replaced by annual row-crops and grass pastures that occupy more than 90 % of the landscape today. Because of these changes water reaches the streams and gullies much faster and has led to incised streams and an extensive growth of gully networks. Stream and gully banks are major contributors of the nonpoi...

Adaptive Multi-Paddock (AMP) is a grazing system which combines intensive, rapid livestock rotation with relatively short periods and long recovery time after grazing. The study assesses, under Mediterranean silvopastoral systems, changes in pasture phenology spatial variability adopting the AMP contrasting land cover (Wooded Grassland vs ) remote sensing approach based on time-series analysis ...
