Figure 4. Example of one viable grazing strategies and state trajectories in the result-oriented scenario with a climatic perturbation (zoom on the three years around the climatic perturbation).

Figure 4

The different constraints are plotted to illustrate the fact that viable result-oriented strategies would not respect action and habitat oriented constraints. Figure a, viable grazing strategy in the result oriented scheme. Red bars represent the cattle density constraint u# applied in the habitat and action oriented schemes. Figure b, viable grass height trajectory h in the action and result oriented schemes. Red bars represent the grass height constraint h# applied in the habitat and action oriented schemes. Figure c, viable bird population trajectory N. The red dotted line stands for the population size constraint Nb. The green and red arrows highlight the mechanisms of inter-annual compensation.
