Managing Grazing to Restore Soil Health, Ecosystem Function, and Ecosystem Services
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2020 Ruminants including domestic livestock, have been accused of causing damaging impacts on the global environment and human well-being. However, with appropriate management, ruminant livestock can play a significant role in efforts to reverse environmental

A global meta-analysis of livestock grazing impacts on soil properties.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Grazing effects on soil properties under different soil and environmental conditions across the globe are often controversial. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate the overall magnitude and direction of the grazing effects on soils.

Ecological Applications, 2016 Reports of positive or neutral effects of grazing on plant species richness have prompted calls for livestock grazing to be used as a tool for managing land for conservation. Grazing effects, however, are likely to vary among different response variables,

Impacts of grazing by different large herbivores in grassland depend on plant species diversity
Journal of Applied Ecology, 2015 Summary It is well documented that large herbivores have pronounced effects on plant communities in grassland ecosystems, and the extent and course of their effects can largely depend on both plant and herbivore characteristics.

Experimental impacts of grazing on grassland biodiversity and function are explained by aridity
Nature Communications, 2023 Grazing by domestic herbivores is the most widespread land use on the planet, and also a major global change driver in grasslands. Yet, experimental evidence on the long-term impacts of livestock grazing on biodiversity and function is largely lacking ...

Grazing and ecosystem service delivery in global drylands
Science, 2022 Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure, climate, soil properties, and biodiversity may occur but have never been ...
