Grazing management impacts on vegetation, soil biota and soil chemical, physical and hydrological properties in tall grass prairie
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:

Land use carbon implications of a reduction in ethanol production and an increase in well-managed pastures
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated biogeophysical-socioeconomic model is used to evaluate three levels of potential reductions in ethanol production, along with the possibility of conversion of cropland to pasture management.

Change of Soil Microbial Biomass C, N between Longtime Free Grazingand Exclosure Pasture in Semiarid Grassland Ecosystem in Tongliao andChifeng of Inner Mongolia
TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors examined the soil microbial biomass carbon (Cmic) and nitrogen (Nmic) under continuous free-grazing and exclusion of livestock in Nuogusitai (NGST) and Haisilamu (HSLM) of Chifeng in Inner Mongolia.

Effects of Exclosure on Soil Properties in Winter Rangelands in Golestan Province, Iran
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the changes in some physico-chemical properties of soils following the grazing exclusion as compared to the adjacent grazed areas in three winter rangelands in Golestan province, Iran in 2011-2012.
Developing management guidelines that balance cattle and timber production with ecological interests in the Black Hills of South Dakota
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a management guide for balancing CATTLE and TIMBER production with ECOLOGICAL INTERESTS in the Black Hills of South Dakota, using a combination of computer vision and robotics.

Quantifying the immediate response of the soil microbial community to different grazing intensities on irrigated pastures.
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors found that the soil ecosystem is dynamic and responsive to different grazing strategies within very short time scales, showing the need for further research to understand plant-soil-microbe interactions and how these feedback mechanisms can inform sustainable land management.

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.
