The results from the project will help to understand the influence the hydrological parameters and land use management on the grazing areas. In this way, we highlight:
i) the novelty of this research (first assessment grazing at microscale - rainfall simulations - to catchment scale - models);
ii) the update and consolidate information about a not well-known problem related to the runoff occurrence (e.g., runoff coefficients) and grazing perceptions.

Here we show a interactive map (built on a team field and office investigation) related to the potential impact of the pressure of grazing on local areas across the Curvature Subcarpathians (Romania). Average small ruminants (sheep and goats) density (head/ha/territorial administrative units) in Curvature Subcarpathians region (6792 sq km) is about 4.7.

In this document, we summarize our main outcomes of the „GERSEG” project regarding the impact of grazing (sheep/goats) on runoff and land degradation in the Curvature Subcarpathians, under different geographical environments
