Description: {"infotext":{"text":"Grazing pressure depends on the characteristics of the meadow, soil fertility, humidity and may vary from one year to another. Adequate or recommended grazing pressure increases a meadow\u2019s natural value as well as the feed value of plants. The recommended grazing pressures are given as unique values per semi-natural grassland type. It must be kept in mind however, that these are only orientative values, as the characteristics within a meadow type vary geographically and from year to year. This recommended grazing pressure values have been compiled from several sources, mainly habitat management recommendations and management plans of protected areas.", "url":"https://vivagrass.eu/integrated-planning-tool/terms-of-the-tool/"}}
