The key difference between this and other grazing methods is adaptability, what other agricultural systems do you think could benefit from being managed more adaptively?

Do you see any limitations to how adaptively managed a grazing system can be?

The use of models can enhance the understanding of field experiments by accounting for the wide spatial and temporal variability of rangelands (Teague & Bernes, 2017).

Combining simulation model experiments with research all for a sound theoretical base that can be applied more widely (Teague & Bernes, 2017).

Simulation models address complex interacting issues at the farm level and can be extended to include an assessment of production, resource and economic consequences of adopting different management strategies (Teague & Bernes, 2017).

Research must be conducted at a scale larger enough that variability can be accounted for (Teague & Bernes, 2017).

A small plot with most variables removed will not be applicable to the size and complexity of the land most ranchers manage (Teague & Bernes, 2017).

Working on commercial ranches allows for the study of interactions at a variety of scales and room to adapt to changing conditions (Teague & Bernes, 2017).

Improved management has the potential to decrease bare ground, increase water infiltration, enhance soil carbon, enhance soil fertility, and increase soil and ecosystem diversity (Teague & Bernes, 2017).

Stocking rate- rate that exceeds the carrying capacity of the land will lead to overgrazing
Paddock size- Large paddocks can lead to overgrazing of preferred areas
(Teague & Bernes, 2017)

Many grazing studies have concluded that rotational is no better than light continuous grazing (Teague & Bernes, 2017).

This is likely due to a rigid application rather than an adaptive application (Teague & Bernes, 2017).

The time and scale of these studies will influence the results (Teague & Bernes, 2017).

The approach to agricultural production should be guided by regenerative management protocols (Teague & Bernes, 2017).

Uses a regenerative philosophy to restore ecosystem services on a managed landscape (Teague & Bernes, 2017).

This grazing management method combines systems thinking with adaptive management. Using the planned movement of livestock through a series of paddocks, the distribution of grazing can be managed over time, across landscapes, and across plant communities (Teague & Barnes, 2017)

As with any resource, humans must be aware of our use and the resource's ability to regenerate. The goal should be to protect and enhance ecosystem services such as productive soils, air quality, clean water, and biological integrity (Teague & Barnes, 2017)

Continuous or relatively under-managed grazing leads to:

Degraded vegetation

Degraded soils

Declines in productivity

Declines in biodiversity

Reduced ecosystem resilience
