Herbivore grazing—or trampling? Trampling effects by a large ungulate in cold high‐latitude ecosystems
Mammalian herbivores have important top-down effects on ecological processes and landscapes by generating vegetation changes through grazing and trampling. For free-ranging herbivores on large landscapes, trampling is an important ecological factor. However, whereas grazing is widely studied, low-intensity trampling is rarely studied and quantified. The cold-adapted northern tundra reindeer (Ra...
متن کاملTrampling Effects on Coastal Dune
Long-term human trampling on coastal dune vegetation was analysed using eight 100 × 100m study areas ranging in trampling intensity JJ'om little or no past trampling pressure to severe trampling pressure. All trampling levels significantly reduced species diversity. Total vegetation cover was significantly reduced only in areas with severe and heavy trampling pressure. Where long-term moderate ...
متن کاملShort-duration grazing: Experiences from the Edwards Plateau region in Texas
Y the turn of the century, the Edwards Plateau region of Texas had developed into a major livestock area (27). Continuous, heavy grazing by domestic livestock and the prevention of natural fires since that time have significantly changed the vegetative complex (15, 16). Long-term, excessive removal of vegetation on the plateau by grazing animals reduced the protective herbaceous cover, broke do...
متن کاملEffects of short duration and high-intensity, low-frequency grazing systems on forage pro- duction and composition
Research was conducted at the Sonora Research Station during a 4-year period (1984 to 1988) to measure differences in herbaceous vegetation response between two ‘I-pasture l-herd grazing systems. Grazing tactics were short duration (SDG-7 days graze, 42 days rest) and high intensity, low frequency (HILF-14days graze, 84 days rest). Stocking rate for the 2 treatments was 10.4 ha/auy. Total above...
متن کاملShort-term Effects of Rabbit Grazing on a Degraded Short-tussock Grassland in Central Otago
Despite 120 years of rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus L.) control in New Zealand, there is a surprising dearth of quantitative information on the damage rabbits cause to agricultural systems and the environment. Research and debate on rabbits have traditionally centred on the various technical options available for their control, and their cost efficiency. Little attention has been paid to the env...
