Increased contribution of root exudates to soil carbon input during grassland degradation
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2020The contribution of root exudates to soil carbon (C) inputs is poorly quantified, especially for grasslands under the context of degradation that includes simultaneous shifts in species composition due to long-term overgrazing.

Grassland degradation and livestock rearing in Lesotho
Journal of Southern African Studies, 1995This study is written in the context of marked intervention by external agencies, during the last 20 years. This has taken place within the broad concept of ‘sustainable development’, with the stated desire to ‘develop’ Lesotho's livestock economy, and to conserve the country's grasslands. The paper emphasises the need for social scientific analyses to

Remote sensing is used as the indispensable technology in alpine grassland degradation assessment especially at regional scale on the Tibetan Plateau. However, the lack of field spectral data, as the foundation of remote sensing, due to the formidable natural and climate conditions hinders the understanding of spectral characteristics of alpine ...

Analysis of meteorological factors on grassland degradation in Hulunbeier
2011 International Conference on Remote Sensing, Environment and Transportation Engineering, 2011This paper, using nearly 50 years of meteorological data from four national weather stations of Hulunbeier grassland, analyzes the impact of the changes of temperature, precipitation and evaporation on grassland degradation, the results show that: temperature and evaporation increased significantly and precipitation changed slightly in the study area ...

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.
