Sentence examples for grazing soil from inspiring English sources

The plan also outlines a number of steps that must be taken by landholders to help improve grazing, soil, nutrient, and chemical management practices.

Fifteen scarified seeds of each of the 39 sequenced genotypes were planted in a fully randomized design in two replicate saline and non-saline field sites ('gardens') that were fenced to prevent grazing (soil analysis in Table  1).

Likewise, wildlife grazed soils had a higher Shannon-Wiener diversity index (2.13 ± 0.05) than either livestock grazed soils (1.76 ± 0.10) or cultivated soils (1.59 ± 0.09).

While the trampling effect on growth during grazing has been considered in our model [35]; derived from Vuichard et al. [38], the impact of intensive grazing on soil physics (e.g., soil compaction) and its consequence on soil hydrological and thermal properties [67] is not taken into account and should be addressed by models in the future.

In line with this, Mulugeta (2004) and Belayneh (2009) reported that deforestation, farming practices and intensive grazing change soil texture by aggravating soil erosion.

Our results provide an insight into the long-term effects of fire and grazing on soil water infiltration and soil CO2 fluxes in savanna ecosystems.

The impact of grazing on soil properties depends on grazing management, the non-grazed control site provided higher soil pH, available P, and Mg compared with moderately grazed site of 33 years old (Ajorlo et al. 2011).

The objective of this study was to quantify the effect of long-term no-till cultivation with light grazing on soil quality, land productivity, and resource use efficiency.

Magnetic susceptibility, a proxy for soil stability in this region, suggests that grazing increases soil erosion leading to an increase in the area of nutrient-depleted bare ground.

The effects of grazing on soil properties have shown to be dependent on the type of grazing management practices.

We also highlight our contrasting results between the studied soil attributes across the two sites, providing evidence that depending on site differences, the effects of fire and grazing on soil chemical and water properties might change, suggesting caution when making extrapolation in the context of savanna land use planning and management.
