Grazing Intensity Modifies Soil Microbial Diversity and Their Co-Occurrence Networks in an Alpine Steppe, Central Tibet [PDF]
MicroorganismsGrazing intensity is one of the crucial anthropogenic activities on alpine grasslands. However, how grazing intensity affects soil microorganism diversities and their co-occurrence networks in alpine steppe remains uncertain.

Modeling the spatial distribution of grazing intensity in Kazakhstan. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2019 With increasing affluence in many developing countries, the demand for livestock products is rising and the increasing feed requirement contributes to pressure on land resources for food and energy production. However, there is currently a knowledge gap in our ability to assess the extent and intensity of the utilization of land by livestock, which is ...

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 ...

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.
