Prescribed fires are used to manipulate and manage rangelands, but effective monitoring techniques are needed to ensure that management goals and objectives are being met. The application of an effective fire program on rangelands is not a simple task. Overgrazing by livestock since the early development of the livestock industry has altered the vegetative complex on most rangelands with an inc...
having a comprehensive and correct understanding of grazing behaviour of livestock helps to maximize livestock products. moreover, a good understanding of livestock behavior allows us to predict the effects of livestock on rangeland and finally we can do livestock grazing management the best possible. recognition of grazing behavior of animals can provide solutions enables the optimal use of ra...
Evaluating the possible relationships between vegetation and environmental characteristics can assist managers to identify effective factors influencing plants establishment and to characterize various vegetation communities. This study was aimed to evaluate the effects of long term grazing exclusion ( more than 33 years) and the controlled grazing system (resting – rotation grazing system) on ...
this study sought to develop a decision support system (dss) for assisting range managers to detect range condition and make informed decisions about feridan county rangelands. all plant species frequencies were measured in 31 range sites with various grazing histories using step point method. four hundred points along four perpendiculars 30 meters transects were measured in each site and grazi...
In spite of overwhelming experimental evidence to the contrary, rotational grazing continues to be promoted and implemented as the only viable grazing strategy. The goals of this synthesis are to 1) reevaluate the complexity, underlying assumptions, and ecological processes of grazed ecosystems, 2) summarize plant and animal production responses to rotational and continuous grazing, 3) characte...
more than half of the area of the country are rangelands. implementing the principles of proper rangeland management and optimal use of rangeland requires proper stock grazing management. considering the quality and quantity of forage plants, palatability and preference value of species and rates of species utilization are information needed for proper management of livestock grazing in rangela...
Public land management agencies, such as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), are charged with managing rangelands throughout the western United States for multiple uses, such as livestock grazing and conservation of sensitive species and their habitats. Monitoring of condition and trends of these rangelands, particularly with respect to effects of livestock grazing, provides critical informati...
Early and intense grazing of semi-natural grasslands replacing traditional mowing and late grazing has been identified as a threat to grassland biodiversity. We compared fruit production, fruit set attributes (e.g. plant size or phenology of reproduction), and differences in potentially negative effects (accumulation of ungrazed vegetation) in continuous grazing from May through September, with...
Riparian meadows occupy a small proportion of the public lands in the western United States but they provide numerous ecosystem services, including the production of high-quality forage for livestock grazing. Modern conservation management strategies (e.g., reductions in livestock stocking rates and adoption of new riparian grazing standards) have been implemented to better balance riparian con...
In a previous article, Beschta et al. (Environ Manag 51(2):474-491, 2013) argue that grazing by large ungulates (both native and domestic) should be eliminated or greatly reduced on western public lands to reduce potential climate change impacts. The authors did not present a balanced synthesis of the scientific literature, and their publication is more of an opinion article. Their conclusions ...
