Globally, temperate grasslands have been significantly degraded as a result of urbanisation,
grazing and agriculture. Weeds now dominate most of these ecosystems, resulting in the …

Multi-species grasslands are reservoirs of biodiversity and provide multiple ecosystem
services, including fodder production and carbon sequestration. The provision of these …

The soil organic carbon (SOC) of grasslands is a vital component of the global carbon cycle.
The SOC in grassland ecosystems in arid and semi-arid regions is sensitive to global …

This study is focused on the vegetation of seminatural dry grasslands. These grasslands are
valuable with large biodiversity; however, their long-term preservation requires regular …

Understanding the interaction between large herbivores and pasture production, especially
with respect to the grazing optimization hypothesis, is critical for pasture management and …

Complex socio-economic, political and demographic factors have driven the increased
conversion of Europe's semi-natural grasslands to intensive pastures. This trend is …

In nature conservation today, there is a global problem with the aggressive expansion of
invasive plant species and the conservation of valuable grassland vegetation. Based on this …

Grazing is an important modulator of both plant productivity and biodiversity in grassland
community, yet how to determine a suitable grazing intensity in alpine grassland is still …

This study investigated the impact of climate change, grazing, manure application, and
liming on soil organic carbon (SOC) stock and cumulative carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions …

Grazing, as the main land use of grasslands, is a key factor affecting the supply of ecosystem
services 1 (ESs) as well as the relationships between ESs. Using four grazing intensities …
