Evidence & Context
The optimal range for a resilient, productive, and ecologically sound tropical grazing system is < 30% Bare Ground, with the 10-20% range representing the "best-on-offer" condition.
Percentage of exposed soil surface not covered by vegetation (living or dead) or litter.
This benchmark defines the optimal range of bare ground percentage for a resilient and productive tropical grazing system, with lower values indicating better condition.
Synthesizes upper and lower boundary analyses to define a functional range where the system is resilient and productive.
