The effects of grassland degradation on the genetic structure of a small mammal
Integrative ZoologyAbstractGrassland degradation is challenging the health of grassland ecosystems globally and causing biodiversity decline. Previous studies have demonstrated the impact of grassland degradation on the abundance and behavior of small mammals. Little is known about how it affects the genetic structure of gregarious mammals in the wild.

Comprehensive Plant Biology
Desertified and degraded grassland can severely damage the soil microbial structure, accelerating desertification and degradation. Microbial agents can improve soil fertility, and even play a very important role in controlling soil desertification, promoting grass?land sustainability, and enhancing productivity.

Piospheres and Pastoralists: Vegetation and Degradation in Steppe Grasslands
Human Ecology, 2012The Mongolian plateau in East Asia is part of a new hotspot of land cover change. Recent human activity and natural forces have degraded grasslands in northern China with the southern Mongolia steppe similarly vulnerable. Investigating vegetation patterns at piospheres (the area around water points) can identify herder influence on pasture conditions ...

Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2006
This paper analyzed the degradation actuality of natural grassland, its reasons and corresponding restoration ways. Natural restoration is the easiest way, but it is very slow. The establishment of some artificial grassland is the most effective way to lessen the oppressiveness of natural grassland.

[Hyperspectral remote sensing monitoring of grassland degradation].
Guang pu xue yu guang pu fen xi = Guang pu, 2015The distributing of China's grassland is abroad and the status of grassland degradation is in serious condition. So achieving real-time and exactly grassland ecological monitoring is significant for the carbon cycle, as well as for climate and on regional economies.

Degradation of the semi-arid grasslands of southern Africa
Journal of Arid Environments, 1989The degradation process in the semi-arid grasslands of southern Africa is mainly characterized by changes in the ratio between palatable and unpalatable species. Compositions with the largest palatable component occurs at light to moderate grazing conditions, while more severe grazing leads to an increase in unpalatable species.

[Characteristics of vegetation, soil, and their coupling of degraded grasslands].
Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2002This paper presented the characteristics of the vegetation, soil, and their coupling in the gradient of grazing pressure of the degraded alpine grassland in Sunan county and of the typical arid grassland in Huanxian county, Gansu province. The abundance index of species, Simpson index, Shannon-Wiener index, Cody index, nutrient functional diversity ...
