Livestock type is more crucial than grazing intensity: Traditional cattle and sheep grazing in short‐grass steppes
In biodiversity conservation of agriculture‐driven landscapes, grasslands have an
outstanding importance; their conservation became a top priority both in research and …

Classification of herbaceous vegetation using airborne hyperspectral imagery
Alkali landscapes hold an extremely fine-scale mosaic of several vegetation types, thus it
seems challenging to separate these classes by remote sensing. Our aim was to test the …

[HTML][HTML] Differences in arthropod communities between grazed areas and grazing exclosures depend on arthropod groups and vegetation types
Livestock grazing is one of the most common management practices for grasslands and can
greatly affect their biodiversity. However, arthropod diversity response patterns to grazing …
