Livestock grazing intensity affects abundance of Common shrews (
BMC Ecology, 2009 Background Current nature conservation in semi-natural grasslands often includes grazing and hay cutting, as well as the abandonment of draining. Semi-natural grassland and in particular meadows constitute important habitat type for a large number of ...

Eaten out of house and home: impacts of grazing on ground-dwelling reptiles in Australian grasslands and grassy woodlands. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Large mammalian grazers can alter the biotic and abiotic features of their environment through their impacts on vegetation. Grazing at moderate intensity has been recommended for biodiversity conservation.

Effects of different intensities of long-term grazing on plant diversity, biomass and carbon stock in alpine shrubland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Grazing is the main grassland management strategy applied in alpine shrubland ecosystems on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. However, how different intensities of long-term grazing affect plant diversity, biomass accumulation and carbon (C) stock in these ...

Effects of Grazing Intensity on Features of Vegetation, Soil and Its Erosion in a Steppe Desert
Shuitu baochi tongbao, 2022 [Objective] The effects of different grazing intensity on vegetation features, soil physical properties, and soil erosion in a steppe desert were determined in order to provide a scientific basis for soil erosion control, degradation and ecosystem ...

Relationships between plant species richness and grazing intensity in a semiarid ecosystem
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Plant species richness is an important property of ecosystems that is altered by grazing. In a semiarid environment, we tested the hypotheses that (1) small‐scale herbaceous plant species richness declines linearly with increasing grazing intensity by ...

Seasonality constraints to livestock grazing intensity [PDF]
Global Change Biology, 2017 AbstractIncreasing food production is essential to meet the future food demand of a growing world population. In light of pressing sustainability challenges such as climate change and the importance of the global livestock system for food security as well asGHGemissions, finding ways to increasing food production sustainably and without increasing ...

Effects of large herbivores on grassland arthropod diversity [PDF]
, 2015 Both arthropods and large grazing herbivores are important components and drivers of biodiversity in grassland ecosystems, but a synthesis of how arthropod diversity is affected by large herbivores has been largely missing. To fill this gap, we conducted

Justification for Grazing Intensity Experiments: Analysing and Interpreting Grazing Data [PDF]
Journal of Range Management, 1988 Grazing trials in which treatments are compared at only 1 gruing intensity greatly outnumber those in which treatments are compared at several grazing intensities. This suggests that, compared to other treatments and the need for replication in grazing trials, researchers consider grazing intensity lower in priority.

Grazing intensity's effects on rangeland vegetation
Mongolian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2022 Mongolia is a massive, semi-arid country in central Asia that encompasses 1,500,000 km2, with grasslands making up around 75% of the territory. These grasslands have long supported herders and are important for grazing animals. However, one of the most severely impacted ecosystems in the world is the Mongolian rangeland, and approximately 70% of the ...
