TLDR
In this article, the authors evaluated the impact of multi-paddock (MP) grazing at a high stocking rate compared to light continuous (LC) and heavy continuous (HC) grazing on neighboring commercial ranches in each of three proximate counties in north Texas tall grass prairie.About:

Impact of grazing on chemical, physical and biological properties of soils in the mountain rangelands of Sahand, Iran
M Mofidi,M Rashtbari,H Abbaspour +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of grazing on soil physical, chemical and biological properties of a semi-steppe rangeland grazed by goats and sheep in the Sahand Mountains (Iran) in order to develop effective soil conservation measures and sustain livestock production.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of intensive short-duration rotational grazing (IRG) management on soil properties in two study sites in Colombian Eastern Plains, and demonstrated the capacity of IRG management to intensify cattle production per unit area, while simultaneously improving soil properties and increasing soil macrofauna biodiversity.

Managing grazing lands to improve soils and promote climate change adaptation and mitigation: a global synthesis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a meta-analysis of field experiments that investigated how soil water infiltration rates are affected by a range of management options: adding complexity to grazing patterns, reducing stocking rates or extended rest from grazing.

Soil physical and chemical properties in response to long-term cattle grazing on sloped rough fescue grassland in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Alberta
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated how soil physical and chemical properties respond to cattle grazing intensity and slope position on a rough fescue grassland, and found that soil physical properties may be more sensitive to grazing at the top than bottom of a slope.

Developing the ecological balance sheet for agricultural sustainability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors suggest a practical means of incorporating ecological capital into the framework of business entities by synthesizing a body of literature from accounting, ecological economics, ecosystem services, modelling, agriculture and ecology to fill current gaps in the capability to account for ecological capital.

Resource Availability and Plant Antiherbivore Defense
TL;DR: Resource availability in the environment is proposed as the major determinant of both the amount and type of plant defense, and theories on the evolution of plant defenses are compared with other theories.

Analysis of factors controlling soil organic matter levels in Great Plains grasslands
TL;DR: In this article, a model of soil organic matter (SOM) quantity and composition was used to simulate steady-state organic matter levels for 24 grassland locations in the U.S. Great Plains.
