- •
A process-based model was developed to simulate interactions between grazing activities and land cover dynamics.
- •
Vegetation successions, cattle activity and tree growth processes are represented through the SHIELD model.
- •
The model integrates knowledge from local experts, agricultural practices and remote sensing data.
- •
Scenarios are developed to assess various grazing practices on reforestation dynamics.
- •
Grazing routines may be more efficient to limit reforestation than grazing intensity. Results highlight the influence of grazing intensity and grazing routines to limit natural reforestation.
