Abstract

  • Conservation advisors often want to know about the economics/profitability of soil health practices in grazing systems; however, relationships between soil health management and economic outcomes are lacking in grazing systems.

  • We present a recent case study of California rangelands to demonstrate the challenges associated with determining economics/profitability of soil health practices in grazing systems.

  • We found online tools available for researchers and conservation advisors to better understand soil health and forage production changes over time, but better on-the-ground information is still needed to estimate economic outcomes.

  • Conservation groups and government agencies can play a role in quantifying economic outcomes by recording and sharing types of livestock management, length of management, and pre- and post-management soil health data.

寻找土壤健康与牧场经济成果之间的关系——以加州牧场为例
•保护顾问经常想了解放牧系统中土壤健康实践的经济性/盈利能力;然而,在放牧系统中,土壤健康管理和经济成果之间缺乏关系。•我们最近对加利福尼亚牧场进行了一项案例研究,以证明与确定放牧系统中土壤健康实践的经济性/盈利能力相关的挑战。•我们发现研究人员和保护顾问可以使用在线工具来更好地了解土壤健康和饲料生产随时间的变化,但仍需要更好的实地信息来估计经济结果。•保护组织和政府机构可以通过记录和共享牲畜管理类型、管理年限以及管理前后的土壤健康数据,在量化经济成果方面发挥作用。
