The amount of surface soil moisture (SSM) is a crucial ecohydrological natural resource that
regulates important land surface processes. It affects critical land–atmospheric phenomena …

Integration of crops with livestock is receiving increased attention to improve soil productivity
and environmental quality. Grazing of crop residues is an important practice, particularly …

Background Grazing is a major modulator of biodiversity and productivity in grasslands.
However, our understanding of grazing-induced changes in below-ground communities …

Grasslands are a major biome on Earth, and their soils play a dominant role in the overall
ecosystem functions and dynamics. Though the majority of global grasslands are used for …

Although numerous studies have demonstrated that grazing significantly affects soil
nutrients, plant biomass and soil microbial activities in grassland ecosystem, the responses …

Grazing exclusion of grasslands has traditionally been considered to reduce nitrogen inputs
and decrease nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions. However, recent studies have shown that …

Grazing management is widely used to control grassland degradation in Inner Mongolia.
However, the correlation between the soil physical properties, root traits, and infiltration …

Predicting the comprehensive driver of ecosystem multifunctionality is crucial for effective
grassland management. However, the underlying biotic and abiotic mechanisms of …

Few studies have addressed the potential grazing effects on microclimate, such as surface
temperature and moisture, and their feedback effects on grassland function. A continuous …

Reduction in vegetation cover caused by human activities has a great impact on soil
temperature. It is important to assess how soil temperature responds to reduction of …
