A gyepek helyreállításának lehetőségei különböző élőhelyeken, különböző legelő állatokkal: Áttekintő esettanulmányok III: Juhlegelők
47-52Megtekintések száma:70From a land-use perspective, sheep grazing is primarily justified on sites of lower soil productivity. This is due to the grazing behaviour of sheep, characterised by selective feeding and close cropping. Such grazing promotes the development of a diverse vegetation structure, which is of high conservation value. However, under prolonged overgrazing, undesirable plant species may proliferate within the sward. The present review seeks to identify, in general terms, which species tend to become dominant on sheep pastures and which species are likely to spread under intensive grazing. Investigations carried out across several Hungarian landscape types yielded comparable results. Under high grazing pressure, Lolium perenne, Cynodon dactylon and Hordeum hystrix typically became dominant. By contrast, under low grazing pressure, Festuca pseudovina was generally found to prevail.

A gyepek helyreállításának lehetőségei különböző élőhelyeken, különböző legelő állatokkal: Áttekintő esettanulmányok II: Kecskelegelők
43-46Megtekintések száma:85In this summary overview, we present the findings of phytosociological surveys conducted in vegetation types subjected to goat grazing—excluding the control meadows—across seven different study sites in addition to four settlements located in Transdanubia and the North Hungarian Mountains. The areas are also evaluated from a grassland management perspective. Furthermore, we explored the potential use of two invasive species (Solidago gigantea and Calamagrostis epigeios) as goat fodder, and we included a mown meadow as a control. The primary aim was to assess the species richness and ecological value of these areas under varying levels of grazing pressure and grassland management strategies, particularly in terms of conservation and pasture use.
The most degraded plant communities were observed in Nagyréde and Kaposdada, where overgrazing had occurred. This was evident in species composition, as these areas were the least species-rich and showed significant infestation by ruderal species. In contrast, the most favorable outcomes—both for conservation and for grassland management—were found in sites that were initially mown and subsequently grazed by goats. The results suggest that vegetation types developed under light grazing pressure were more beneficial from a grazing perspective. Overall, the study indicates that a combination of light grazing and mowing is the most suitable management approach for maintaining and utilizing these semi-dry grasslands sustainably.
Additionally, both invasive species may have potential for use as fodder when harvested at appropriate phenological stages and supplemented with additional feed, although not for meat production purposes.

A vadaskert vadföldgazdálkodás ökonómiai kérdései: A „Vad- és legelőgazdálkodás időszerű kérdései” című tanácskozás (MTA Budapest – Kaposvári Egyetem, 2006. május 18-19.) tudományos közleményei
47-50Megtekintések száma:160Az elmúlt két évtizedben jelentős változások zajlottak le a magyar vadgazdálkodásban. Nyereségorientált tevékenységgé vált, és ezzel meghatározóvá vált a gazdálkodás. Különösen igaz ez a vadaskertekre, ahol az intenzívebb hasznosítás feltétele a magas színvonalú takarmányozás. A vadászterületek jelentős gyepterülettel rendelkeznek, azonban ezek általában elhanyagolt, műveletlen földek. A Bőszénfai vadaskert vadföldművelését elemezve egyértelmű az eredmény, mely szerint az egynyári növénykultúrákkal szemben sokkal gazdaságosabb az évelő – elsősorban pillangós – vezérnövényű gyeptársulások létesítése. Ezzel évente akár 15-20% költségmegtakarítást érhetünk el, mindemellett gazdálkodásunk egyszerűbbé, áttekinthetőbbé válik.
