Policies that can increase pasture productivity and improve the carrying capacity and soil quality of pastures are assessed using CropSyst simulation modeling. Optimal grazing intensity and intervals (rotational grazing) are evaluated and discussed, based on model analysis from the Madiama commune in Mali (West Africa).application/pdfen-USCarbon sequestrationControlled grazingGrazingSoil qualityLivestock carrying capacityPasture managementRotational grazingModelingGrazing systemsMadiama communeMaliWest AfricaPasture productivitySoil carbonRotational grazingSimulation analysisCropsyst modelingClimgenFarm/Enterprise Scale Field ScalePresentation
