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:

Effects of grazing on grassland soil carbon: a global review
TL;DR: Grazer effects on SOC are highly context-specific and imply that grazers in different regions might be managed differently to help mitigate greenhouse gas emissions, according to a multifactorial meta-analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive management of biological systems: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a structured review of the AM literature that relates to biodiversity and ecosystem management, with the aim of quantifying how rare AM projects actually are, and investigate whether AM practitioners in terrestrial and aquatic systems described the same problems; the degree of consistency in how the term "adaptive management" was applied; the extent to which AM projects were sustained over time; and whether articles describing AM project were more highly cited than comparable non-AM articles.

TL;DR: The impact of grazing on SOC is climate-dependent and increases SOC for C4 but decreases it for C3 and C3-C4 mixed grasslands and has no effect on soil pH.

Multi-paddock grazing on rangelands: why the perceptual dichotomy between research results and rancher experience?
TL;DR: This work identifies five principles underpinning the adaptive management actions used by successful grazing managers and the ecological, physiological, and behavioral framework they use to achieve desired conservation, production, and financial goals, and outlines knowledge gaps and present testable hypotheses to broaden the understanding of how planned multi-paddock grazing management can be used at the ranching enterprise scale to facilitate the adaptivemanagement of rangelands under dynamic environmental conditions.

Negative Emissions Technologies and Reliable Sequestration: A Research Agenda
Division on Earth,Board on Agriculture,Board on Energy,Environmental Systems,Reliable Sequestration +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, negative emissions technologies (NETs) that remove and sequester carbon dioxide from the air will need to play a significant role in mitigating climate change, and the benefits, risks, and sustainable scale potential for NETs and sequestration are assessed.

Biodiversity of rangelands.
TL;DR: Biodiversity is a multifaceted phenomenon involving the variety of organisms present, the genetic differences among them, and the communities, ecosystems, and landscape patterns in which they occur and not all introduced, alien, or exotic species are equal threats; it depends on how they fit into ecosystems.

Interactive Effects of Fire, Bison (Bison bison) Grazing and Plant Community Composition in Tallgrass Prairie
TL;DR: The influence of fire regime on grazing patterns of North American bison (Bison bison) was studied on the Konza Prairie in northeastern Kansas as discussed by the authors, where bison grazing was spatially and temporally nonrandom and was influenced by fire regime and local plant community composition.

A Portable Rainfall Simulator for Plot-Scale Runoff Studies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a new rainfall simulator that is relatively easy to operate and transport to and from the field while maintaining critical intensity, distribution, and energy characteristics of natural rainfall.

Automated instrumental analysis of carbon and nitrogen in plant and soil samples
S. L. McGeehan,D. V. Naylor +1 more
TL;DR: An automated CHN Analyzer was compared with the Walkley-Black and Kjeldahl methods for organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in this paper, and four organic compounds, twenty nine plant materials and five soils were tested.

Effects of grazing intensity and prescribed fire on soil physical and hydrological properties and pasture yield in the savanna woodlands of Burkina Faso
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of grazing intensity were investigated by a comparison of non-grazed areas, lightly grazed area, moderately grazed, heavily grazed areas and very heavily grazing areas that received one of two fire treatments: early burning and fire protection.
