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.

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.

A spatial-temporal analysis on pattern formation around water points in a semi-arid rangeland system
TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic automata model was developed by subdividing a spatial area into subunits called cells and where the dynamics of each cell depends on its present state, the state of its neighbors and external factors such as rainfall.

How Livestock Grazing Habits and Growth Requirements of Range Plants Determine Sound Grazing Management
TL;DR: To a stockman the main objective of a range livestock enterprise is sustained maximum livestock production and sustained maximum dollar income, which can be realized only when forage production on the range is maintained at a maximum level.

The grazing rotation : Effects of different combinations of presence and absence
TL;DR: Investigation into the effects of a range of periods of presence and absence on Tall Grassveld in Natal suggests a definite trend towards increased productivity of veld as the period of presence is reduced from 20 to 2 days, and theperiod of absence is increased from20 to 60 days.

Implications of Spatio-Temporal Variation in Forage Production and Utilization for Animal Productivity in Extensive Grazing Systems.

TL;DR: Analysis of patterns of utilisation at the level of individual plants and forage availability at the paddock scale on five commercial sheep grazing properties that all experienced drought during the course of the study concludes that the difference between the 'scale of exploitation' and the scale at which heterogeneity is sufficient for survival of livestock is probably crucial.
