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 ...

Vegetation type and grazing intensity jointly shape grazing effects on grassland biodiversity. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2018 AbstractIn the Palaearctic steppe zone, overgrazing was identified as one of the key drivers of declining grassland biodiversity, which underlines the necessity of the functional evaluation of increased grazing pressure on grassland vegetation. We tested the following hypotheses: (a) The effect of grazing intensity on species and functional diversity ...

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
