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:

Existing Accessible Modeling Tools Offer Limited Support to Evaluation of Impact Investment in Rangeland Ecosystem Services
B. L. Gordon,Virginia Kowal,Ambika Khadka,Rebecca Chaplin-Kramer,Roy Roath,Benjamin P. Bryant +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the extent to which existing modeling tools are up to this task, by assessing the ability of two process-based models to represent four specific rotational grazing benefits put forth by impact investors, using a ranch in northeastern Wyoming as a case study.

Effects of High Impact Grazing on Species Diversity and Plant Functional Groups in Grasslands of Northern Argentina
Ditmar Bernardo Kurtz,Marcus Giese,Folkard Asch,Saskia Helen Windisch,María Cristina Goldfarb +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of high impact grazing on grassland diversity and shifts in plant functional groups are investigated in Northern Argentinean (Chaco) rangelands, and the results indicate that irrespective of the season in which HIG was applied, the diversity parameters were not negatively affected.

Optimizing Beef Cow-Calf Grazing across Missouri with an Emphasis on Protecting Ecosystem Services
Michael Aide,Indi Braden,Susan Murray,Collin Schabbing,Sophia Scott,Samantha Siemers,Sven Svenson,Julie Weathers +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of cattle grazing on ecosystem services provided by Mollisols and Alfisols is identified and a listing of soil indicators that may be selected to quantify and credential soil quality is developed.

The Value of Land Restoration as a Response to Climate Change
TL;DR: Land is fundamentally important to many dimensions of climate change response and merits a more central position in the climate change mitigation discourse, and land restoration thus represents a crucial opportunity for mitigation as discussed by the authors.

Holistic versus continuous grazing in Patagonia: A station-scale case study of plant and animal production
Gabriel Oliva,Gabriel Oliva,Daniela Ferrante,Daniela Ferrante,Carla Tamara Cepeda,Gervasio Humano,Silvina Puig +6 more
TL;DR: Positive vegetation changes in both areas may be driven by residual effects of destocking 3 decades ago and show that improvement is possible using moderate stocking rates under both grazing systems.

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.
