Conservation measures and experimental setup
Experimental setup: The field experiment includes one treatments with two replicas The following treatment is applied: controlled grazing with sustainable number of animals.
At the bottom of each plot there is a small ditch and a tube that leads runoff water to a dipping bucket and soil sediment trap.
- WOCAT reference conservation measure (Qt reference): GeWt
- WOCAT reference implementation approach (Qa reference):
Expected effects: Controlled grazing will reduce surface water runoff and sediment loss. Furthermore, soil water conservation and structure stability will be enhanced.
