Cattle trampling during grazing of crop residue may cause physical soil damage that may be repaired when animals are excluded. Understanding the interplay between soil deterioration and natural recovery of the soil physical ...

Non-native species can facilitate other non-native species via their effects on the physical environment. Here, I evaluate whether the ice plant, Carpobrotus edulis, prompts increased densities and grazing impacts of the ...

In recent years, the intensification of livestock production in Southern Chile has resulted in a high potential for environmental damage through nitrogen (N) losses, creating the need for the evaluation of N flows from ...

We compare invertebrate herbivory upon 13 macrophyte species in freshwater wetland systems located in two global ecozones, the Afrotropics and Neotropics, in the context of biotic and environmental factors influencing these ...

Grazing intensification with non-native livestock is known to degrade vegetation cover, particularly in arid environments where low resource availability strongly limits plant recovery after damage. However, it remains ...

Domestic livestock are widespread in seasonally dry forests, likely causing forest degradation and limiting tree seedling establishment. Shrubs can play an important role in facilitating tree regeneration, by protecting ...
