Dorper grazing behaviourgrazing strategyfarmed goatsThe introduction of exotic herbivores into the semi-arid and arid zones of Australia resulted in dramatic change in the native vegetation (e.g. Noble and Tongway 1986; Friedel et al. 1990). Overgrazing and trampling reduced ground cover and ...
obtusifolia was reported as a primary weed of pastures in Australia, where it reduces available grazing areas and competes with pasture species for light, nutrients, and water (Mackey et al. 1997). In areas favorable for its growth, S. obtusifolia is capable of excluding all native species ...

biomass accumulates as decay-resistant refractory matter is determined by the fate of plant primary production (that is, grazing, export, and burial; Cebrian1999). Most seagrass meadows are net autotrophic systems (with gross primary production exceeding respiration; Duarte and others2010) in which ...

(Faiello et al., 2003).The plant's vigorous root system develops extensively, absorbing substantial water and thereby contributing to reduction of the water table.The initial competition between the olive and herbaceous species could be reduced by livestock grazing.This would contribute to ...
