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.

Vegetative Response under Various Grazing Management Systems in the Edwards Plateau of Texas
TL;DR: Forage production under five different grazing management schemes was compared after 20 years of treatment in the Edwards Plateau region of Texas as mentioned in this paper, and the 4-pasture deferred rotation system produced the most desirable livestock and wildlife habitat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of short duration and high-intensity, low-frequency grazing systems on forage production and composition.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured differences in herbaceous vegetation response between two 7-pasture 1-herd grazing systems and found that the shortgrass production in the SDG pastures increased from 45% of the total ANPP for year 1 to 74% for year 4.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pasture management in semi-arid tropical woodlands: dynamics of perennial grasses
TL;DR: There were significant changes in total basal cover of plots between years and with tree killing, but no significant differences in sown pastures, fertiliser or stocking rate, and the small influence of management compared to seasonal effects on survival is discussed.

Dry-weight-rank method assessment in heterogenous communities.
TL;DR: For sites with high standing crop variation and patchiness of species that require considerable use of cumulative ranking, DWR with quadrat weighting provides adequate determination of species proportions of biomass.
