Grassland degradation by shrub encroachment: Mapping patterns and drivers of encroachment in Kyrgyzstan

Journal of Arid Environments, 2022
Shrub encroachment is one of the major phenomena of grassland degradation throughout the world. One of the largest grassland areas is found in Central Asia. This area is playing an important role for biodiversity and food security, especially in a context of climate change.

Shrub encroachment is associated with changes in soil bacterial community composition in a temperate grassland ecosystem

Plant and Soil, 2018
Aims The effects of shrub encroachment on plant and soil properties have been well studied. However, little is known about how shrub encroachment influences soil bacterial communities.

Shrub encroachment, landscape restoration, and intraguild predation

Journal of Arid Environments, 2021
Abstract Shrub encroachment into arid grasslands occurs globally with the potential to affect vertebrates and their interactions. In the Chihuahuan Desert of southern New Mexico, shrub encroachment has prompted intensive efforts by land management agencies to remove shrubs and restore historical grassland habitats.

Shrub encroachment in Argentinean savannas

Journal of Vegetation Science, 2003
Abstract. In the Wet Chaco region of Argentina, increasing shrub encroachment in savannas over the last few decades has led to important changes in the structure and functioning of the landscape. Some sectors of this territory are characterized by the appearance of circular clusters of woody patches, dispersed throughout the grassland matrix.

Both fencing duration and shrub cover facilitate the restoration of shrub-encroached grasslands

CATENA, 2021
Abstract Fully understanding community assembly mechanisms is crucial to better predict grassland community dynamic under restoration. The community assembly over time is more complicated in shrub-encroached than in non-encroached degraded grasslands because the presence and size of shrub could regulate community processes and diminish effects of ...

Plant and soil surface responses to a combination of shrub removal and grazing in a shrub-encroached woodland

Journal of Environmental Management, 2010
Shrub encroachment into open woodland is a widespread phenomenon in semi-arid woodlands worldwide. Encroachment or woody thickening, is thought to result from overgrazing, changes in fire regimes and increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations.

Shrub encroachment is not always land degradation

2018
Shrub encroachment in semi-arid savannas is induced by interacting effects of climate, fire suppression, and unsustainable livestock farming; it carries a severe risk of land degradation and strongly influences natural communities that provide key ecosystem functions.
