In order to counteract the penetration by grazing wild animals, such as deer, into freshly planted areas, partic. afforestation zones, diffusors (1-4) of repellent odour and/or scent are positioned and/or around such zones.WILHELMSSON DAG...
local management measures aiming at open habitat conservation need to maintain habitat-specific nutrient conditions despite atmospheric inputs. Grazing by wild herbivores, such as red deer (Cervus elaphus), has been proposed as an
Grazing involves animals feeding on living plant material, impacting ecosystem structure, while detritus refers to dead organic matter, crucial for nutrient recycling and supporting detritivores.
This suggests that the pastures where deer are feeding more often are going to have less forage available, consequently increasing the stress level of the animals. Cohen et al. urged for the use of grazing systems that cause the least amount of stress during June and July, since female deer...
Population structure did not differ between animals caught in exclosures vs. open woodland in terms of body weight, reproductive status, age structure nor sex ratio in either species. Our results highlight the need of bankvoles for denser understorey as protection from predators, compared with ...
Before their return to the wild, the deer that have just been released spent some time in enclosures, allowing them to acclimatise to their new habitat. “All the releases went smoothly and the animals are now doing well,” says Rewilding Rhodopes rewilding officer Stefan Avramov. “We ...
Eligible exposureGiving the domestic grazing animals access to one or more additional nutrient source(s). The grazing animals must be livestock present in Sweden, such as cattle, horses, sheep, and goats (pigs are excluded since they are not considered to be grazers). The additional nutrient so...
Meanwhile, searches with device support would be less affected in low visibility conditions unless there are radio communication failures. Thurner et al. (2011) stated that the often unforeseeable and especially in bad weather conditions strenuous searching activities for animals on alpine pastures could...
Goats (Capra hircus hircus) offer an opportunity to more effectively convert pasture nutrients to animal products as milk, meat and fiber which are currently marketable and in demand by a growing segment of the US population. With the introduction of the Boer breed and the upgrading of meat-typ...
grazing often struggle economically and are in urgent need of more financial support. Yet the subsidies of the current CAP favour more intensive, less sustainable farming, while failing to support those engaged in extensive grazing,pastoralism, and the management of semi-wild and wild animals. ...
