Ecological Indicators, 2023 Grazing can alter soil microbial diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) through feeding, trampling, and excreta deposition. However, it remains unclear how grazing intensity and grazing duration across Chinese grasslands affect the relationship

LandFunctional zoning diversifies the management of grazing intensity within protected areas (PAs). However, the complexity makes it difficult to assess grazing intensity and thus understand the effectiveness of PAs in reducing grazing intensity.

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.

Grass and Forage Science, 2007 SummaryFinding an optimal balance between livestock production and grazing impact on plant biodiversity is an important issue in the design of grazing systems. This paper describes a study of the effect of two levels of grazing intensity combined with different animal breeds on plant biodiversity and sward structural diversity of semi‐natural ...

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 ...

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.
