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.

Long-Term Grazing Accelerated Litter Decomposition in Northern Temperate Grasslands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Ecosystems"
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: 10.1016/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.

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.
