Effects Of Grassland Intensification By Grazing And Cutting, And N ... Understanding the complex relationship between grazing intensity (gi) and ess is essential for achieving sustainable management of grassland ecosystems. To fully understand effects of agricultural land management and livestock grazing intensification on c, n, and p stocks and their stoichiometry, it is important to examine their contents not only in aboveground plant biomass but also across multiple soil layers.

(PDF) Effects Of Grazing On Grassland Soil Carbon: A Global Review Gnificance of grassland ecosystems and the background of grazing as a management practice. then, the paper delves into the effects of grazing on vegetation structure, soil properties, hydrological cycles, and biodiversity in grasslan. Understanding herbivore effects on plant composition and functional diversity, and ecosystem functioning and services, is essential for informing ecological theory and practice. the current special issue highlights that the effects of grazing on vegetation are strongly context dependent. We show that aridity partly explains the responses of biodiversity and multifunctionality to long term livestock grazing. grazing greatly reduced biodiversity and multifunctionality in steppes. Our results aimed to test how single land use practices (grazing, mowing), and combined land use practices (both grazing and mow ing), influence biodiversity, soils and plant function, and the coupling of aboveground and belowground func tions and properties in a eurasian steppe grassland.

Our results aimed to test how single land use practices (grazing, mowing), and combined land use practices (both grazing and mow ing), influence biodiversity, soils and plant function, and the coupling of aboveground and belowground func tions and properties in a eurasian steppe grassland. We analyzed trait‐based vegetation patterns in four types of grasslands with different productivity along a grazing intensity gradient. we specifically tested three hypotheses related to grazing intensity, grassland types and to their interaction. Our study provides global insights that will aid sustainable grazing management, and more research is needed to explore the regulatory role of grazing intensity and nutrient supplementation on global grassland n retention. In this analysis, we examined several components of ecosystem function that are seldom ex plored including measures of nutrient cycling and soil compaction. in general, cattle grazing appears to decrease production measures, increase soil com paction, and have mixed impacts on nutrient cycling rates. Integrating the effects of grazing patterns (including grazing intensity, livestock type, and grazing season) and climate type on plant biomass and diversity may improve our understanding of the effects of human activities on ecosystem functions in grassland.
