Impact and management of shrub encroachment are scale-dependent
Transactions in Earth, Environment, and SustainabilityShrub encroachment is a major land use change in global grassland, affecting productivity and multiple ecosystem services. However, its impact on ecosystems is highly debated, as it varies largely across patch, landscape and regional scale, while shrub management is usually conducted on small scales only.

Shrub encroachment and vertebrate diversity
2017Aim: Across the planet, grass-dominated biomes are experiencing shrub encroachment driven by atmospheric CO2 enrichment and land-use change. By altering resource structure and availability, shrub encroachment may have important impacts on vertebrate communities.

Shrub encroachment affects soils, plant communities, and microbial interactions in grassland ecosystems. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) play crucial roles in maintaining soil-plant dynamics. In this study, the mechanisms through which AMF community diversity and colonization respond to shrub encroachment were investigated, and the key driving ...

Encroachment of woody plants into grasslands is a global phenomenon that has substantial impacts on pastoral productivity and ecosystem services. Over the past half century, pastoralists and land management agencies have explored various options to control woody plants in order to improve ecosystem services in shrub‐encroached grasslands.

Earth observation for Shrub Encroachment
Woody plant encroachment (WPE) refers to the increase in density, cover, and biomass of trees and shrubs, affecting both the environment and economy. Many regions lack quantification of WPE, and its driving factors remain unclear. Shrub encroachment, involving woody plants up to 1.5 meters tall, is particularly challenging to quantify due to the lower ...Soubry, Irini, Guo, Xulin
