Sheep and cattle grazing regimes differentially affect ground beetle and ant communities in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Sheep and cattle grazing significantly shape ant and ground beetle species composition in Mediterranean cork oak woodlands, promoting higher diversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity. Ground beetles and ants reflect changes in grazing regimes, with sheep‐grazed areas showing the highest diversity, highlighting their utility in ecosystem monitoring.

Afforestation suppresses soil nitrogen availability and soil multifunctionality on a subtropical grassland

Science of The Total Environment, 2021
Microbes simultaneously drive multiple functions (multifunctionality) that support human well-being. However, the structure and function of microbial communities and their impact on soil multifunctionality following grassland afforestation remains unknown, thus hindering our ability to formulate conservation policies.

Soil Multifunctionality Increases after Grazing Abandonment in Semiarid Rangelands

Applied Soil Ecology, 2023
Grazing by domestic animals is an economic activity that can alter the ecosystem structure and functioning of drylands. Some rangelands are experiencing a temporary or complete abandonment of grazing, but the effects of these practices on the ecology of drylands are poorly studied.
