A global meta-analyses of the response of multi-taxa diversity to grazing intensity in grasslands
Environmental Research Letters, 2019 Livestock grazing is an important component and driver of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems. While numerous studies and a few meta-analyses had been conducted on the response of single taxon diversity to grazing in grasslands, a synthesis of how multi-
