DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9182
Abstract: Abstract Soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics is regulated by a complex interplay of factors such as climate and potential anthropogenic activities. Livestocks play a key role in regulating the C cycle in grasslands. However, the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chnaes.2020.11.001
Abstract: Abstract The diversity of grazers on savannahs exerts pressure on the grass to provide nutrition. In this study the concentrations of major and trace animal nutrients in above ground grass tissue as influenced by grazing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/icad.12475
Abstract: Rosette‐shaped plants can amplify the diversity of predator arthropods and act as potential shelters for these animals in grassland ecosystems under grazing effect. Here we evaluated the contribution of a vertical rosette‐shaped plant (Eryngium horridum)… read more here.
