Title: Grazing optimization and nutrient cycling: potential impact of large herbivores in a savanna system: Journal: Ecological Applications; Authors: C. de Mazancourt, M. Loreau, and L. Abbadie; Date: 1999; Summary: Estimated field data was used in the development of a model to test the prediction that herbivory can result in grazing optimization. The 35 years of field data was collected on the savanna of Lamto, located 200 km north of Abidjan, Ivory Coast (5° 02\' W, 6° 13\' N). Multiple previous studies were utilized as comparison sources for references and data acquisition for developing the model. The model includes a nitrogen cycle diagram divided into two separate categories with a total of seven compartments. The parameters of the model cover a wide range of nitrogen inputs and los ...; Agrovoc Control Words: Grazing, Rangelands, Primary Production; View more details about this article
