Grazing impairs ecosystem stability through changes in species ...

Highlights. •. Grazing decreases ecosystem stability and species asynchrony. •. Grazing induces a destabilizing influence of diversity in ...

We found that grazing did not alter the species diversity. However, there was a decrease in ecosystem stability and species asynchrony across spatial scales.

Grazing impairs ecosystem stability through changes in species ...

We tested how grazing has impacted on species diversity, asynchrony, stability, and ecosystem stability across different spatial scales. We ...

Grazing impairs ecosystem stability through changes in species ...

We found that grazing did not alter the species diversity. However, there was a decrease in ecosystem stability and species asynchrony across spatial scales. MG ...

Land use imperils plant and animal community stability through ...

Hence, species diversity alone does not sufficiently capture critical changes in communities and ecosystems. In addition, different ...

Grazing and Biodiversity - Stephen Thomforde

This study suggests grazing alters the spatial heterogeneity of vegetation, creating a patchy pasture mosaic which in turn increases ecosystem function.
