Suitable grazing during the regrowth period promotes plant diversity in winter pastures in the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Vegetation is a crucial component of any ecosystem and to preserve the health and stability of grassland ecosystems, species diversity is important. The primary form of grassland use globally is livestock grazing, hence many studies focus on how plant ...

Fertilization can accelerate the pace of soil microbial community response to rest‐grazing duration in the three‐river source region of China

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Overgrazing leads to grassland degradation and productivity decline. Rest‐grazing during the regreen‐up period can quickly restore grassland and fertilization is a common restoration strategy.
