Annual–Perennial Forage Mixtures Improve Forage Productivity and Soil Quality in Patchily Degraded Cultivated Pastures Under Grazing Management
Patchy degradation of cultivated pastures under long‐term grazing is a serious issue limiting grassland productivity. The use of annual and perennial legume–grass mixtures, which offer complementary functional advantages, may provide a practical reseeding‐based approach for improving patchily degraded cultivated pastures; however, limited information is available on how patch size influences the performance of different mixture ratios under grazi…
Grazing Promotes Decomposition of Tibetan Sheep Dung in Alpine Meadow Through Decoupling Climate
Dung decomposition plays a pivotal role in the cycling of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). However, the combined effects of grazing system and grazing intensity on dung decomposition remain unclear. In this study, a 2‐year experiment was conducted to examine the effects of two grazing systems (continuous grazing and rotational grazing) and two grazing intensities (0 and 8 sheep ha −1 ) on Tibetan sheep dung decomposition in an alpine…
The Disturbance of Biocrusts Subsoil Stoichiometry by Grazing Could Not Compensate for Its Damage Effect
Biocrusts play an essential role in maintaining ecosystem stability, which is common in arid and semi‐arid areas. Although there have been some previous studies on the stoichiometry of biocrust subsoil in grazing systems, further research is needed to assess the effects of varying grazing intensities. Four grazing gradients were established to investigate the change mechanism of biocrust subsoil stoichiometry under grazing conditions, considering…
Grazing regulates soil N cycling of annual pastures by enhancing soil N turnover in arid climate condition
Nitrogen is the second limited factor in arid regions. Little information is available on soil N cycling and availability under grazing in arid regions, which is required to evaluate land‐use management with respect to soil N availability and dynamics. In 2011, we established a rotational grazing field experiment in arid grassland. We conducted experiments to explore the effects of herbivores grazing on soil net N mineralization and N processes v…
Plant α‐and β‐diversity, and soil microbial stoichiometry co‐regulate the alterations in ecosystem multifunctionality in response to grazing and N addition in a typical steppe
Despite their significance, how interactions of plant diversity at multiple spatial scales and soil microbial stoichiometry alter a series of ecosystem functions (multifunctionality, EMF) in response to anthropogenic nitrogen (N) input and herbivores are poorly known. We conducted a 17‐year sheep grazing experiment with 6‐year N addition to explore the impacts of grazing (0, 2.7, 5.3 and 8.7 sheep ha −1 ) and N addition (N0, N5, N10 and N20, i.e.…
Plateau pika burrowing and yak grazing jointly determine ecosystem greenhouse gas emissions of alpine meadow
Domestic yak ( Bos grunniens ) have coexisted with plateau pika ( Ochotona curzoniae ) for thousands of and they play irreplaceable roles in shaping the structure and function of alpine meadow ecosystem. However, the mechanisms whereby the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions change in response to the interactive effects between yak grazing and plateau pika burrowing remain unclear. In this study, we examined the response of ecosystem GHG emissions (CO…
Precipitation regulates the livestock dung seed bank through above ground vegetation productivity in the Qaidam basin
The livestock dung seed bank (DSB) plays an important role in the regeneration and sustainability of grasslands in grazing ecosystems. As global precipitation patterns change, the productivity of the above ground vegetation (AGV) in semiarid and arid regions may be substantially affected, as will both the size and composition of the livestock DSB. However, the effects of altered precipitation patterns remain to be determined. Dung was collected f…
Introduction of woody and herbaceous legumes influences productivity, diversity and soil properties in a degraded grassland
Medicago sativa (herbaceous plant) and Caragana korshinskii (woody plant) are the most important legume species planted in semiarid grassland on the Loess Plateau, China. However, the effects of introducing these legumes on the productivity, diversity and soil fertility of native grassland are not well understood. The effects of planting M. sativa and C. korshinskii on the productivity, diversity and soil properties of native grassland on the Loe…
Temporal heterogeneity has no effect on the direction of succession in abandoned croplands in a semiarid area of northwest China
Space for time substitution has been widely used in the study of succession in abandoned croplands worldwide but it is often accompanied by time heterogeneity. However, the effect of temporal heterogeneity on succession dynamics over decades is not well understood. Here, we studied croplands with the same history that were abandoned in 1998, 1999, and 2000 in northwest China (temporal heterogeneity) and continuously monitored for vegetation chara…
