Effect of rotational grazing on some soil properties in Düzce of Turkey
Öz: Pastures, one of the four important vegetation types in the world, have great potential not only in terms of forage production for animals, but also in terms of biological diversity. Yet, the pressure of continuous and overgrazing on pastures in Turkey affects both vegetation and soil negatively. Overgrazing leads to soil compaction, thus, soil permeability is influenced in a negative way. It is possible to remove these negative influences via amendment methods or reorganizing grazing. In this study, it was researched how short duration rotational grazing influenced some soil properties in a pasture where uncontrolled heavy grazing for many years in Düzce. As a result of the study, soil properties affected by rotational grazing at most were permeability and bulk density. While the value of bulk density increased from 1.19 gr cm-3 to 1.30 gr cm-3 in the continuous grazing pastures, it decreased from 1.38 gr cm-3 to 1.26 gr cm-3 in the rotational grazing pastures. It was demonstrated in the study that organizing grazing systems in the pastures can improve soil permeability and bulk density to a great extent.

Düzce yöresinde münavebeli otlatmanın bazı toprak özellikleri üzerine etkisi
Öz: Dünyadaki dört önemli vejetasyon tipinden bir olan meralar hayvanlara kaba yem temin etmenin yanı sıra biyolojik çeşitlilik açısında da önemli bir potansiyele sahiptir. Ancak ülkemizde mera alanları üzerindeki düzensiz ve aşırı otlatma baskısı gerek bitki örtüsü gerekse toprak üzerinde olumsuz etkiler oluşturmaktadır. Aşırı otlatmayla birlikte toprak sıkışması olmakta ve toprakların su geçirme özelliği olumsuz etkilenmektedir. Bu olumsuz etkiler mera alanlarında uygulanacak ıslah yöntemleri veya otlatmanın düzenlemesi ile düzeltilebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada da Düzce ilinde uzun yıllar kontrolsüz bir şekilde ağır otlatma yapılan bir mera alanında kısa süreli münavebeli otlatmanın bazı toprak özellikleri üzerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda münavebeli otlatmadan en fazla ve hızlı etkilenen toprak özellikleri geçirgenlik ve hacim ağırlığı olmuştur. Nitekim hacim ağırlığı değeri 3 yılın sonunda sürekli otlatılan alanda 1,19 gr cm-3 den 1,30 gr cm-3 değerine çıkarken; münavebeli otlatma yapılan alanlarda 1,38 gr cm-3 den 1,26 gr cm-3 düzeyine düşmüştür. Araştırma mera alanında otlatmanın düzenlenmesi ile toprakların geçirgenlik ve hacim ağırlığı özelliklerinde önemli iyileşmelerin olabileceğini ortaya koymuştur.
