Description
Conceptual models of both the metabolisable energy (ME) balance of sheep in relation to the environment and the effects heavy grazing on vegetation and soils will form the basis for the development of a sustainable grazing system for wool production in the Falkland Islands. Research which integrates plant community ecology, agricultural meteorology, sheep energetics, grazing systems and socio-economics is described.
