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:

The Birds and the Bees: Producing Beef and Conservation Benefits on Working Grasslands
Patrick D. Keyser,David A. Buehler,John H. Fike,Deborah L. Finke,Samuel D. Fuhlendorf,James A. Martin,H. D. Naumann,S. Ray Smith +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present the status of this conservation challenge and offer prospective solutions through a working lands conservation approach, which entails maintaining appropriate disturbances (i.e., grazing, fire, and their combination), improved grazing management, an increased reliance on native grasses and forbs, and improved plant diversity within pastures.

Conservation Assessment of a critically endangered endemic Polygonum samsunicum (Polygonaceae) with emended description from Turkey
TL;DR: In this article , the authors defined the global conservation status and strategies of locally distributed endemic polygonum samsunicum which has been confronted with the danger of extinction due to anthropogenic effects in recent years.

Changes in vegetation structure, aboveground biomass and soil quality in response to traditional grazing land management practices in the central highlands of Ethiopia
TL;DR: Despite shrinking pastureland in the central highlands of Ethiopia, as a result of cropping, there has been little detailed work to evaluate effects of traditional grazing land management practices as discussed by the authors.

Evaluating the impacts of alternative grazing management practices on soil carbon sequestration and soil health indicators
TL;DR: In this paper , the impacts of alternative grazing management practices, including heavy continuous (HC), light continuous (LC), and adaptive multi-paddock (AMP) grazing, on soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil health indicators at the ranch and watershed scales in the Lower Prairie Dog Town Fork Red River Watershed in Northwest Texas.

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.
