Optimization Of Grazing Management For Watershed Sediment Control, Y. Duan, P. Heilman, D. Phillip Guertin
Optimization Of Grazing Management For Watershed Sediment Control, Y. Duan, P. Heilman, D. Phillip Guertin
International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software
Grazing on rangelands can increase erosion that is a major source of nonpoint source pollution. Grazing management is important in maintaining vegetation cover, which consequently impacts erosion and sediment yield. This paper uses a representative ranch model to define grazing management from an economic perspective. The model maximizes the profit of a representative ranch that can utilize all grazing lands in a watershed with constraints on forage resources, sustainable utilization, and production technology and sediment yield control objectives. A case study for the Walnut Gulch Watershed in Arizona showed a shift of the spatial distribution of optimal stocking rates with …
