English term or phrase: grazing pressure

Definition from IFAD:
The relationship between the number of animal units or forage intake units and the weight of forage dry matter per unit area at any point in time; an animal-to forage relationship. May be expressed as animal units or forage intake units to forage mass (animal units/forage mass at a specific time).

Example sentence(s):

An optimum grazing pressure is one in which available forage matches animal needs; this is analogous to the quantity of forage offered daily to animals in confinement when rations are balanced. The Pennsylvania State University
The different grazing pressures were obtained through different stocking rates, adjusted every 21 d according to forage mass, predicted forage production rate, and an estimated forage allowance of 10, 15 and 20 kg dry matter (DM) heifer-1 d-1 for high, medium, and low pressures, respectively. American Society of Agronomy
Stocking rate and annual average grazing pressure (with or without account for feral animals) did not appear to be, in themselves, good indicators of sustainability. Rather, the sustainability of different areas/systems and the impacts on sustainability of changes in management, e.g. stocking rates, may be assessed better through calculating year-to-year variability of the feed base, and periods of critical grazing pressure. cababstractsplus.org

πίεση βόσκησης

Definition from own experience or research:
Πίεση βόσκησης είναι η συσχέτιση του ρυθμού κατανάλωσης της βλάστησης από τα φυτοφάγα ζώα με το ρυθμό φυσικής αναγέννησης της βλάστησης.

Example sentence(s):

Αν δεν υπάρχουν αυτές οι δύο προϋποθέσεις, τότε η υπερβόσκηση μπορεί να μην προκαλέσει ερημοποίηση, επειδή τα περισσότερα λιβαδικά φυτά είναι προσαρμοσμένα στην έντονη πίεση βόσκησης και μπορούν να επανακάμψουν, αν αυτή η πίεση ελαττωθεί ή ανασταλεί σύντομα. - Lucinda
Θα πρέπει όμως να ισχύει το ίδιο στις μεσογειακές χώρες, όπου το ξηροθερμικό περιβάλλον, οι πυρκαγιές και η πίεση της βόσκησης έχουν προκαλέσει σε πολλά δάση έντονη υποβάθμιση έως κατάρρευση. - PARNASSOS.CO.NR
Οι νότιες πλαγιές των Λευκών Ορέων υπόκεινται σε εκτεταμένη βοσκή κατσικιών όλο το χρόνο. Η πίεση βόσκησης ποικίλει ανάλογα με την εποχή, με τον τύπο βλάστησης, αλλά και με την τοποθεσία. - University of Athens
