Résumé :
|
The understanding and management of land resources used by grazing animals are of major importance to ecologists and agricultural and environmental scientists. This book fills a major gap in the market by synthesizing a range of perspectives on grazing systems , drawn from plant science, animal science and ecology. It outlines the principles of herbage growth and competition, of animal factors that are central to an understanding of grazing systems. Chapters on the management of grazing systems cover both intensive an extensive systems including rangelands) from all major agroecological zones of the world. Contents : Part. 1 : plants and plant populations ; Part. 2 : animals and animal populations ; Part. 3 : grazing systems and their management ; Part. 4 : conclusions.
