The phrase "availability of grazing" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the presence or accessibility of land suitable for livestock to feed on.
Example: "The availability of grazing in this region is crucial for the sustainability of local farms."
Alternatives: "access to pasture" or "grazing options".
Nutrition impacts on fertility and is directly related to the availability of grazing.
There is a gross mismatch between the needs of the resident cattle population and the availability of grazing.
Despite the widespread perception that Fulani pastoralists living within grazing reserves are becoming increasingly sedentary, the inhabitants of the KGR have continued to practise wide-ranging transhumance driven by the limited availability of grazing, similar to that of Fulani elsewhere.
The KGR community undertakes transhumance and herd splitting in response to limited availability of grazing within the reserve, and transhumance was found to increase in duration and frequency with the arrival of the new immigrants.
Despite the widespread perception that grazing reserves are promoting sedentarisation of Fulani pastoralists and curbing transhumance, the inhabitants of the KGR were observed to practise wide-ranging transhumance both during wet and dry seasons driven by the limited availability of grazing.
One example in Africa is the bushbuck (Tragelaphus scriptus): a mammalian generalist and herbivore that has kept pace with environmental changes by local adaptation to changing habitats, since this sedentary species appears to require only water, cover and the availability of grazing or browse [11].
The results of this model indicated that forage availability was positively and significantly (P ≤ 0.05) influenced by the following: length of residence by a livestock keeper, perceived rainfall availability, frequency of grazing, number of kraals, presence of governing rules, presence of conflicts and knowledge of pasture location.
This study examined the dynamics of immigration within the Kachia Grazing Reserve (KGR), an exclusively Fulani pastoralist community in Kaduna State, northwest Nigeria, prompted by concerns from both the farming communities and the authorities about mounting pressure on existing limited resources, particularly in regard to availability of cattle grazing resources.
The net effect of epiphytes on seagrass growth and morphology depends on the independent and interactive effects of a variety of factors, including nutrient availability and the intensity of grazing on epiphytes.
The results show an effect of grazing on resource availability.
We did not find any effect of grazing on phosphorous availability.
