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

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 ...

Rangelands, 2000 G razing management on rangelands is based on controlling the intensity, timing, frequency, and selectivity of grazing animals. Grazing intensity has been considered to be the most critical of these factors because high intensity grazing damages the eaten plants. Considerable controversy has existed over how grazing intensity should be measured.

Grazing effects on vegetation dynamics in the savannah ecosystems of the Sahel
Ecological Processes, 2023 Background The savannah ecosystems of Sahel have experienced continuous and heavy grazing of livestock for centuries but still, their vegetation response to grazing pressure remains poorly understood.

Grazing regime alters plant community structure via patch‐scale diversity in semiarid grasslands
Ecosphere, 2021 Selective grazing of livestock creates lightly and heavily grazed vegetation patches, which together contribute to the whole community in grazed grasslands.

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-

The Impact of Grazing on the Grass Composition in Temperate Grassland
Agronomy, 2020 Grazing is one of the predominant human activities taking place today inside protected areas, with both direct and indirect effects on the vegetation community. We analyzed the effects of grazing intensity on grass composition during four grazing seasons

Biology, 2021 Currently we are observing a drastic decline in insect fauna on a large scale. Grazing is regularly used as an ecological method of protecting or restoring special biotopes that are important for species conservation. The European bison (Bison bonasus (L.

Diversity, 2022 Understanding the mechanisms of diversity–productivity relationships is a central question in community ecology. Grazing is the main driving force affecting biodiversity, function, and stability of grassland ecosystems, and thus should play an important ...

Management-intensive Grazing Affects Soil Health [PDF]
, 2020 Abstract. Management-intensive Grazing (MiG) on irrigated, perennial pastures has steadily increased in the western US due to pressure for reducing public lands grazing, overall declining land available for pasture, and decreasing commodity prices.
