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:

Red Imported Fire Ant, Solenopsis invicta (Burden) (Hymenoptera: Formicidae), Abundance and Arthropod Community Diversity Affected by Pasture Management
TL;DR: In this article , the authors studied the effects that adaptive multi-paddock pasture management systems (based on stocking density, rotation frequency, and insecticide/anthelmintic [wormer] application rates) have on fire ant mound abundance and arthropod diversity for the soil, foliar, and dung communities.

Evaluating the Impact of Grazing Cessation and Reintroduction in Mixed Prairie Using Raster Time Series Analysis of Landsat Data
TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of grazing cessation and reintroduction varies among native vegetation communities and measures the effective time periods of eliminating and reintroducing grazing in a prairie ecosystem, and the results suggest expected time periods for prairie management methods to achieve results.

Effect of Defoliation Frequency on Rytidosperma virescens Plants and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Colonization
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors evaluated the response of Rytidosperma virescens native grass and the associated AM fungi under different defoliation frequency treatments (plants undefoliated, two clippings with 50-d intervals between defoliations, four clicksings with 30-d interval, and six clippments with 21-d irregular growth conditions) in a 150-d experiment.

TL;DR: In this paper, structural diversity, technology adoption, farmer's strategies, and functional attributes (productivity, reproductive efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions, diversification, and self-sufficiency) of pastoral systems in North Patagonia were studied.

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.
