Adapting to climate change on desert rangelands: A multi-site comparison of grazing behavior plasticity of heritage and improved beef cattle
(Elsevier, 2023-02)Climate change is amplifying the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of desert rangeland forages through its impact on precipitation variability. Foraging behavior plasticity (an animal's ability to alter its behavior to cope ... -

Comportamiento y distribución animal en pastoreo extensivo
(Estación Experimental Agropecuaria La Rioja, INTA, 2021-06)En la actualidad los términos “comportamiento animal” y “distribución animal” son muy utilizados sobre todo en ambientes ganaderos extensivos, y aunque están muy relacionados entre sí, son diferentes conceptualmente. Este ... -
Defoliation intensity and simulated grazing strategy effects on three C4 rangeland bunchgrasses
(2018-01)Defoliation intensity and timing are two important factors determining plants response to grazing. These factors can be managed by adjusting stocking rate and applying a grazing strategy. In a 6-yr clipping experiment ... -
Foraging behavior of Argentine Criollo and Angus cows grazing semi-desert rangelands in the Arid Gran Chaco region of Argentina
(Elsevier, 2022-11)We monitored grazing behavior and habitat selection of Argentine Criollo (AC), South American heritage cattle breed, and Angus (AA) cows during summer and winter of 2016 (wetter year) and 2017 (drier year) at a site in La ... -
Greenhouse gas emissions from beef grazing systems in semi-arid rangelands of central Argentina
(MDPI, 2018-11)The livestock sector can be a major contributor to the mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Within the sector, beef production produces the largest proportion of the livestock sector’s direct emissions. The objective ...
