Grazing intensity, duration, and grassland type determine the relationship between soil microbial diversity and ecosystem multifunctionality in Chinese grasslands: A meta-analysis

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

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.

The main driver of soil organic carbon differs greatly between topsoil and subsoil in a grazing steppe

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics is regulated by a complex interplay of factors such as climate and potential anthropogenic activities. Livestocks play a key role in regulating the C cycle in grasslands.

Effects of different grazing intensities on grassland production in China: a meta-analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Grazing is one of the main grassland disturbances in China, and it is essential to quantitatively evaluate the effects of different grazing intensities on grassland production for grassland carbon budget and sustainable use.A meta-analysis was conducted ...

Human Impacts on Forest Biodiversity in Protected Walnut-Fruit Forests in Kyrgyzstan [PDF]

, 2014
We used a spatially explicit model of forest dynamics, supported by empirical field data and socioeconomic data, to examine the impacts of human disturbances on a protected forest landscape in Kyrgyzstan.

Differentiated Dairy Grazing Intensity in the Northeast

Journal of Dairy Science, 2000
As the dairy industry in the Northeast experienced difficult economic conditions in the 1990s, grazing was increasingly viewed as an option for feeding dairy cattle. This analysis used a large sample of dairy farms randomly drawn from three states (Pennsylvania, Vermont, and Virginia) in early 1997 to compare important aspects of the farming operations

Higher sustainability performance of intensive grazing versus zero-grazing dairy systems [PDF]

Agronomy for Sustainable Development, 2012
Although grazing of dairy cows is an integral part of dairy farming in many European countries, farmers today more often choose for zero-grazing systems, where cows are housed throughout the year. Some studies already compared grazing and zero-grazing systems for specific issues such as labor efficiency, environmental impact, or animal welfare.

Grazing weakens temporal stabilizing effects of diversity in the Eurasian steppe

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Many biodiversity experiments have demonstrated that plant diversity can stabilize productivity in experimental grasslands. However, less is known about how diversity–stability relationships are mediated by grazing.
