A University of Alberta study titled "Adaptive Multi-Paddock Grazing Lowers Soil Greenhouse Gas Emission Potential by Altering Extracellular Enzyme Activity" indicates that Adaptive Multi-Paddock Grazing (AMP Grazing) can sequester 1.5 times more methane than grasslands not grazed in that manner. Scientists concluded that AMP grazing alters biogeochemical properties and processes that could potentially mitigate the impact of a warmer soil on GHG emissions by consuming more methane, particularly in northern temperate grasslands.
This study builds on other scientific studies that have proven that improved grazing management results in greater soil health with attendant ecosystem benefits including improved carbon sequestration and water infiltration as well as improved forage productivity and quality.
