Cattle-grazing in oil palm plantations sustainably controls understory vegetation
Oil palm agricultural practices need to be substantially changed in order to meet the global
demand for more ethical and sustainable farming. Livestock integration is an innovative …

Grazing Management Plans improve pasture selection by cattle and forage quality in sub-alpine and alpine grasslands
Over the last decades, the reduction of manpower for herd management has led to an
increase of continuous grazing systems (CGS) in the Italian Alps, which allow cattle to roam …

Rotational cattle grazing improves understory vegetation biodiversity and structural complexity in oil palm plantations
Herbicide overuse decimates understory vegetation, including those beneficial plants which
may lead to a reduction of some production‐related ecosystem services such as nutrient …

A 5‐year rotational grazing changes the botanical composition of sub‐alpine and alpine grasslands
Abstract Aim The implementation of Grazing Management Plans (GMP), a specific policy
and management tool, aimed at enhancing farm productivity while preserving plant diversity …

Plant diversity and pastoral value in alpine pastures are maximized at different nutrient indicator values
In alpine environments, very low and very high amounts of soil nutrients are generally
associated to the lowest plant diversity and forage quality levels. Both soil nutrient content …

Microclimate affects the distribution of grassland birds, but not forest birds, in an Alpine environment
Predictions derived from species distribution models (SDMs) are strongly influenced by the
spatial scale at which species and environmental data (eg climate) are gathered. SDMs of …
