Grazing Pressure

Grazing Pressure is a biophysical condition in rangeland ecosystems defined by the intensity of forage utilization by livestock relative to the rate of plant regrowth, distinguishing it from related management variables by quantifying the imbalance between grazing demand and pasture recovery capacity.
