Year-round grazing projects in Northwestern Germany
Basic data for this project
Type of project: Own resources project
Duration at the University of Münster: since 01/01/2012
Description
This study aims at questions of general structure and diversity patterns within year-round grazed sites, of the ad- and disadvantages of year-round grazing compared to other management measures and of fodder availability and grazing patterns. Also, practical implications for planning of future grazing projects are developed. Therefore, we have performed field studies within several year-round grazing projects in Northwestern Germany and the Netherlands since 2012.
