Spatial variability in macrofaunal diet composition and grazing pressure on microphytobenthos in intertidal areas

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Limnology and Oceanography"

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11554

Abstract: Microphytobenthos forms an important part of the diet of macrofauna (macrozoobenthos) in many intertidal ecosystems. It is unclear, however, whether the dependence of macrofauna on microphytobenthos varies spatially within and among tidal systems. We aim… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/wsb.1601

Abstract: Conservation grazing is a management practice to maintain or restore prairie vegetation conditions. The application of conservation grazing in highly fragmented grasslands, such as Minnesota's tallgrass prairie, has received far less study than larger western… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-018-0221-9

Abstract: Livestock grazing affects plant community composition, diversity, and carbon (C) and nutrient cycling in grasslands. Grazing leads to plant communities that have higher relative abundance of grazing-tolerant species, which in turn may alter the chemical… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-020-00575-8

Abstract: Grazing and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) influence soil nitrogen (N) cycling in grassland ecosystems. However, it remains unclear whether AMF mediate grazing effects on soil N cycling. We investigated the influence of benomyl (a broad-range… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10841-024-00560-9

Abstract: Studies on the effects of grazing disturbances in grasslands have shown mixed results for spider diversity, mainly regarding their guilds. While ungrazing, low, and moderate grazing potentially enhance the diversity of orb-weavers in spider communities,… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of environmental management"

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.01.037

Abstract: Ecological modeling that includes plant population processes as a critical determinant of vegetation dynamics is useful for sustainable rangeland management. However, we know little about how long-term sheep grazing pressure drives the plant community structure… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2021 at "Rangeland Ecology and Management"

DOI: 10.1016/j.rama.2020.08.007

Abstract: ABSTRACT Contemporary methods of rangeland health (RH) assessment evaluate indicators designed to assess land use impacts on ecosystem function. These methods have not been tested relative to variation in specific grazing practices, including grazing period… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s2095-3119(16)61614-3

Abstract: Abstract Anthropogenic activities profoundly influence carbon sequestration in the Eurasian Steppe. In particular, grazing has been identified as having a major effect on carbon sequestration. However, the extent to which grazing affects regional patterns or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/01431161.2023.2210724

Abstract: ABSTRACT The quantification of grassland above-ground biomass (AGB) and grazing intensity (GI) and their distribution in space is of great significance to grassland management and eco-conservation. Remote-sensing technology is widely applied, but it is difficult… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/adb445

Abstract: Livestock grazing is a key land use globally, with major environmental impacts, yet the spatial footprint of grazing remains elusive, particularly at broad scales. Here, we combine livestock system indicators based on remote sensing and… read more here.
