Grazing represents the most extensive use of land worldwide. Yet its impacts on ecosystem services remain uncertain because pervasive interactions between grazing pressure, climate, soil properties, and biodiversity may ...

Patch‐size distribution and plant cover are strongly associated to arid ecosystem functioning and may be a warning signal for the onset of desertification under changes in disturbance regimes. However, the interaction ...

Corals in certain Caribbean coral reef habitats are constantly grazed-on due to the territorial marking behavior of the stoplight parrotfish Sparisoma viride. We studied the grazing dynamics on the Caribbean reefbuilding ...

Grazing is directly related to land degradation and desertification in global drylands. Grazing impacts on vascular plants, reasonably well-known, depend on its intensity and are modulated by local aridity conditions. ...

We analysed how changes in community attributes promoted by domestic grazing are reflected on functional traits in canopies of shrubs and perennial grasses in rangelands of the Patagonian Monte. We selected four sites ...

Biotic and abiotic stressors commonly co-occur in plant communities and influence interactions between plants. However, their combined effects on plant interactions have not been widely studied and are still unclear. Here, ...

Soilis the largest organic C (SOC) pool in the biosphere. The size ofthis pool depends on the primary production and SOC residence time which arecontrolled by biome type, climatic conditions and land management.In arid ...

Aquatic macrophyte assemblages and environmental features were assessed in 30 wetlands from North- west Patagonia subjected to different intensity of grazing pressure. Species richness was surveyed in wetlands from three ...
