Monitoring cattle utilization and behavior in a Mediterranean oak woodland

摘要：

Introduction The sustainable utilization of woodlands by cattle is a serious challenge world-wide.The domination by woody vegetation of poor nutritional quality and the low yield of herbaceous vegetation limit cattle performance (Perevolotsky1994).Shortages of alternative grazing areas in Israel necessitate finding an optimal grazing management for the woodlands that,on the one hand,will improve cattle performance and,on the other hand,will create an open,parkland landscape and decrease fire hazards (Perevolotsky and Seligman1998 ; Henkin et al.2005).
