Grazing pressure index considering both wildlife and livestock in Three-River Headwaters, Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Grassland is not only the natural habitats for the survival of wild animals, but also the material guarantees for livestock husbandry. However, the previous studies on grassland carrying capacity are mostly only considering livestock but wild herbivores ...

For a Better Quality of Beef: The Challenge from Growing Livestock on Limited Grasslands with a Production–Consumption Balance Perspective

Foods, 2023
The growing population, the transition dietary towards animal-based products, and the preference for the brand of grass-feeding livestock are bringing increasing pressure on natural grasslands, especially for dry-land areas.

A large forage gap in forage availability in traditional pastoral regions in China

Fundamental Research, 2023
Forage supply has been stressed due to the rapid increase in China's livestock consumption. However, the long-term dynamics of the relationships between forage demand and multi-sourced supply are not understood. Here, we examine the annual forage demand,
