  • The restoration of native predators across rangelands of the western U.S. has created new challenges for ranchers in the form of direct and indirect predation impacts. We present two case studies, one with sheep and one with cattle, where ranchers responded to increased predation risk by incorporating transitory night penning as a component of their managed grazing on public lands.
  • For both sheep and cattle, transitory night penning was a technique that reduced predation risk and also aided the goal of managed grazing.
  • Factors important to transitory night penning include skilled and well-trained personnel, livestock trained to enter and relax in night pens, guard dogs working in conjunction with herders, and occasional use of predator deterrents.
  • Challenges of transitory night penning include increased logistical and infrastructure demands, higher equipment and labor costs, learning new livestock-handling and training procedures, negative ecological impacts at night-penning sites, and policy/culture discouraging concentrations of livestock on public land.
  • Benefits of transitory night penning include a reduction in predator-related mortality, positive ecological impacts, an increase in livestock performance, and a reduction in stress for personnel and guard dogs.
•美国西部牧场的本土捕食者的恢复以直接和间接的捕食影响的形式给牧场主带来了新的挑战。我们提出了两个案例研究,一个是羊,一个是牛,其中牧场主通过将临时夜间围栏作为他们在公共土地上管理放牧的组成部分来应对不断增加的捕食风险。•对于羊和牛来说,临时夜间围栏是一种降低被捕食风险的技术,也有助于实现管理放牧的目标。•临时夜间围栏的重要因素包括技术熟练且训练有素的人员,经过夜间围栏进入和放松训练的牲畜,与牧民一起工作的看门狗,以及偶尔使用捕食者威慑。•临时夜间围栏的挑战包括后勤和基础设施需求增加,设备和劳动力成本增加,学习新的牲畜处理和培训程序,夜间围栏地点的负面生态影响,以及政策/文化不鼓励牲畜集中在公共土地上。•临时夜间围栏的好处包括减少与捕食者相关的死亡率,积极的生态影响,牲畜性能的提高,以及减少人员和看门狗的压力。

  • Preventing grassland biome conversion of the North American Great Plains, improving grassland management, and restoring ecosystem function can be accomplished only through collaborative efforts designed with and in support of the communities on the ground.
  • World Wildlife Fund’s (WWF’s) The Great Plains Program partners with private landowners and Native Nations to realize a shared vision of maintaining intact and resilient grasslands and communities.
  • Launched in 2021, the Ranch Systems and Viability Planning (RSVP) network supports a growing network of landowners and managers dependent on grass-based economies, predominantly in livestock production across >110 ranches, totaling >485,622 ha (>1,200,000 acres) in the Northern Great Plains.
  • RSVP is an enrollment-based program featuring: (1) ranch-wide ecological monitoring (i.e., soil carbon, water infiltration, forage production, and biodiversity); (2) educational opportunities and scholarships; (3) technical assistance for implementing sustainable management practices, including grazing-management plans; (4) financial support (i.e., for ranch infrastructure to improve grazing practices); and (5) peer-to-peer learning and organizational development.
  • RSVP has been successful because of the relationships and trust built over decades, including funders, landowners, and managers dedicated to conserving the grasslands they call home and make a living from, and the partners working tirelessly across the region.
•防止北美大平原草原生物群落转变,改善草原管理,恢复生态系统功能,只能通过与当地社区共同设计和支持的合作努力来实现。•世界自然基金会(WWF)的大平原项目与私人土地所有者和土著民族合作,实现保持完整和有弹性的草原和社区的共同愿景。•牧场系统和可行性规划(RSVP)网络于2021年启动,支持越来越多的依赖草基经济的土地所有者和管理者网络,主要是在北部大平原110个牧场的畜牧业生产中,总面积为485,622公顷(1,200,000英亩)。•RSVP是一个基于注册的项目,具有以下特点:(1)牧场范围内的生态监测(即土壤碳、水渗透、饲料生产和生物多样性);(二)教育机会和奖学金;(3)为实施可持续管理措施提供技术援助,包括放牧管理计划;(4)财政支持(即为牧场基础设施改善放牧方式);(5)同侪学习与组织发展。•RSVP之所以取得成功,是因为几十年来建立的关系和信任,包括致力于保护草原的资助者、土地所有者和管理者,他们称之为家园并以此为生,以及在整个地区不知疲倦地工作的合作伙伴。

  • Lentic riparian meadows provide essential habitat for many wildlife species, including sage-grouse that rely on stored soil water for green forbs in dry summers.
  • Proper riparian functioning-condition assessment is the first step in integrated riparian management, because many riparian areas are at risk of incision and dehydration.
  • Free-roaming horses were as much as or more attracted to riparian areas than cattle during the summer growing season. Combined use was impairing riparian functions and dehydrating and shrinking meadows.
  • The grazing-response index compared grazing effects by focusing on the opportunity to grow or regrow when not being grazed as well as on the frequency and intensity of grazing.
  • Our results suggest the need for movement of livestock to result in less stress and more recovery by monitoring actual use, including when and where grazing occurs.
  • Adjusting horse numbers to achieve appropriate management levels is essential to meet the land’s health standards focused on watershed riparian functions.
  • In many locations, quantitatively monitoring trends in lentic riparian areas will help to adjust appropriate management levels.
  • Dominance of riparian stabilizers along the greenline or in the vegetated drainageway should be the key indicator focusing the objective.
•原生河岸草甸为许多野生动物物种提供了重要的栖息地,包括在干燥的夏季依靠储存的土壤水为绿色牧草提供的艾草松鸡。•适当的河岸功能状况评估是综合河岸管理的第一步,因为许多河岸区域面临着被切开和脱水的风险。•在夏季生长季节,自由漫游的马比牛更容易被河岸地区吸引。联合利用破坏了河岸功能,使草甸脱水萎缩。•放牧响应指数通过关注不放牧时生长或再生长的机会以及放牧的频率和强度来比较放牧效应。•我们的研究结果表明,需要通过监测实际使用情况,包括放牧的时间和地点,来减少牲畜的运动,从而减少压力,促进恢复。•调整马的数量以达到适当的管理水平对于满足以流域河岸功能为重点的土地卫生标准至关重要。•在许多地方,定量监测实际河岸地区的趋势将有助于调整适当的管理水平。•绿线沿线或植被排水道上河岸稳定器的优势应成为关注目标的关键指标。

  • Cow-calf pairs are exposed to forages of varying nutritive quality during the grazing season, and that is converted to live pounds to determine ranch profitability.
  • Saccharomyces cerevisiae (CNCM I-1077), a well-documented active dry yeast, improves ruminal fiber digestibility of low- to high-quality forages, thus enhancing forage and rangeland use and animal performance.
  • We offered 436 multiparous red Angus cows a free-choice mineral supplement with and without the referenced active dry yeast, while they were grazing on native rangeland in Kansas between February and August of 2023.
  • Cows consuming the active dry yeast mineral supplement had greater body-condition scores and weaned heavier calves compared to cows not consuming the active dry yeast at the time of weaning.
  • Our data suggest that providing Saccharomyces cerevisiae CNCM I-1077 via a free-choice mineral to grazing cow-calf pairs improves both cow and calf performance and the productivity of native rangeland, resulting in greater returns for cattle producers.
•在放牧季节,牛对会接触到不同营养质量的饲料,并将其转化为活磅,以确定牧场的盈利能力。•酿酒酵母(CNCM I-1077)是一种有充分证据的活性干酵母,可提高低品质至高品质牧草的瘤胃纤维消化率,从而提高饲料和牧场利用率,提高动物生产性能。•在2023年2月至8月期间,我们为436头产多产的红色安格斯奶牛提供了一种可自由选择的矿物质补充剂,其中有或没有参考的活性干酵母,当时它们正在堪萨斯州的原生牧场上吃草。•与断奶时未食用活性干酵母的奶牛相比,食用活性干酵母矿物质补充剂的奶牛具有更高的身体状况评分,断奶后的小牛体重更重。•我们的数据表明,通过一种可自由选择的矿物向放牧的牛-小牛对提供酿酒酵母CNCM I-1077,既提高了牛和小牛的生产性能,也提高了原生牧场的生产力,从而为养牛者带来了更高的回报。

  • In the United States, “Old-World” bluestems – non-native grasses from the genera Bothriochloa and Dichanthium – have become destructive invasive species in rangeland systems due to their aggressive spread, severe negative impacts on local biodiversity, and relatively poor forage value to livestock and native grazers.
  • Controlling Old-World bluestems is an important ecological and economic priority, but no attempts have been made to quantitatively synthesize the effectiveness of contemporary management practices.
  • Our objective was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of Old-World bluestem management in the United States, with the goal of identifying practices providing effective control.
  • Our systematic review included 16 research articles satisfying our search criteria that resulted in 89 observations for meta-analysis. Selected studies were conducted in Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas.
  • Burn, herbicide + burn, rain shelter + burn, and competition (e.g., overseeding) treatments significantly improved control of invasive bluestems. Counterintuitively, removal treatments resulted in a significant increase of invasive bluestems. Herbicides used singularly were not effective.
  • Old-World bluestems pose substantial threats to working ecosystems. Some practices afford effective control, but in general, the practical management of these invasive species is understudied.
•在美国,“旧世界”蓝草——来自Bothriochloa属和Dichanthium属的非本地草——由于其侵略性的传播,对当地生物多样性的严重负面影响,以及对牲畜和本地食草动物相对较差的饲料价值,已经成为牧场系统中的破坏性入侵物种。•控制旧世界蓝系统是一个重要的生态和经济优先事项,但没有尝试定量综合当代管理实践的有效性。•我们的目标是对美国旧世界蓝茎管理进行系统回顾和荟萃分析,目的是确定提供有效控制的实践。•我们的系统综述纳入了16篇符合我们搜索标准的研究文章,得出89项观察结果进行meta分析。选定的研究在德克萨斯州、俄克拉荷马州和堪萨斯州进行。•烧伤、除草剂 + 烧伤、雨棚 + 烧伤和竞争(如过度播种)处理显著改善了入侵性蓝伤的控制。与直觉相反,去除治疗导致侵入性蓝系统的显著增加。单一使用除草剂效果不佳。•旧世界蓝系统对生态系统构成了巨大威胁。一些做法提供了有效的控制,但总的来说,这些入侵物种的实际管理研究不足。

  • Mixed species herbivory (MSH) is a promising way to manage woody plant encroachment (WPE) but is currently underutilized.
  • Through an online survey consisting primarily of open response questions, we elicited respondents' perspectives on MSH and the barriers to its adoption.
  • Guided by literature on moral reframing, we asked respondents to craft ethically grounded arguments in favor of woody plant management.
  • While most respondents supported the use of MSH to control WPE, the use of moral arguments was divisive.
混合种草食(MSH)是一种很有前途的管理木本植物入侵(WPE)的方法,但目前尚未得到充分利用。•通过一项主要由开放式回答问题组成的在线调查,我们引出了受访者对MSH的看法以及采用MSH的障碍。•在有关道德重构的文献的指导下,我们要求受访者在支持木本工厂管理方面提出合乎道德的论点。•虽然大多数受访者支持使用MSH来控制WPE,但道德论点的使用存在分歧。

  • Drought and variability, exacerbated by climate change, exerts pressure on the economic viability of rangeland agriculture, and subsequently, agricultural producers themselves.
  • In response, we undertook a personalized consulting program, called the Drought Plan Program for ranchers and farmers to aid them in making a drought plan and adapting their operations in preparation for and response to drought.
  • In follow-up surveys and interviews of program participants, 100% of respondents said they would recommend drought planning and the Drought Plan Program to other producers.
  • Beyond encouraging producers to make drought plans, the Drought Plan Program produced unanticipated benefits, such as a reduction in stress levels and improved intra-operation communication, among participants.
  • If the goal is to foster adoption and innovation, Extension and other outreach programs should prioritize accountability, structure, trust, and personal relationships as much as information and facts in outreach efforts.
•气候变化加剧了干旱和变化,对牧场农业的经济可行性施加压力,进而对农业生产者本身施加压力。•作为回应,我们为牧场主和农民开展了一个名为“干旱计划”的个性化咨询项目,帮助他们制定干旱计划,并调整他们的操作,以准备和应对干旱。•在对项目参与者的后续调查和访谈中,100%的受访者表示他们会向其他生产者推荐抗旱计划和抗旱计划项目。•除了鼓励生产商制定抗旱计划外,抗旱计划项目还产生了意想不到的效益,例如减轻了压力水平,改善了参与者之间的操作沟通。•如果目标是促进采用和创新,推广和其他推广项目应该优先考虑问责制、结构、信任和个人关系,而不是信息和事实。
