Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The management and manipulation of grazing are key to sustaining an efficient use of forage resources by livestock. Additonally, the effects of grazing management are felt by local communities through changes in profitability and ecosystem services. Since the turn of the century, grazing research has focused on benefitting ecosystem services delivery, increasing the resilience of grazing lands, and improving economic and environmental sustainability. Finally, the advancement of technology has enabled grazing managers to make day-to-day decisions in real time.
In this Special Issue, we aim to highlight recent changes in grazing management and the theories that support it. Contributions regarding grazing management strategies, the use of precision technology, and effects to rangelands, animals, and soils are all welcome.
