Grazing increases below-ground biomass and net primary production in a temperate grassland
(Springer, 2015-07)
Background and aims: Grazing can affect the stock and flow of C between above and below-ground vegetation layers. Components of below-ground stratum are one of the less studied. The goals of this research were: 1) to ...
Below-ground biomass and productivity of a grazed site and a neighbouring ungrazed exclosure in a grassland in central Argentina
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2004-04)
We estimated the below-ground net plant productivity (BNPP) of different biomass components in an intensively and continuously 45-ha grazed site and in a neighbouring exclosure ungrazed for 16 years for a natural mountain ...
Seed rain and soil seed bank compensatory roles on Nassella tenuis (Phil.) Barkworth seedling recruitment in ungrazed and grazed sites
(Science Press, 2022-05)
In semi-arid lands, vegetation is distributed in shrub patches immersed in a less vegetated interpatch matrix. Grazing affects perennial grass seed bank through a decrease in seed rain and an increase in seed predation and ...
Responses of vegetation to different land-use histories involving grazing and fire in the North-east Patagonian Monte, Argentina
(Australian Rangeland Society, 2013-06)
In arid and semiarid lands around the world, vegetation is distributed in patches within a bare soil matrix. Vegetation in the North-east Patagonian Monte, Argentina is a shrubland steppe, and patches are dominated by ...
Leaf litterfall, fine-root production, and decomposition in shrublands with different canopy structure induced by grazing in the Patagonian Monte, Argentina
(Springer, 2008-10)
Selective sheep grazing in the Patagonian Monte induces the reduction of total and perennial grass cover, species replacement within life forms, and the increase in dominance of long-lived evergreen woody plants with slow ...
Impact of stocking rate on species diversity and composition of a subtropical grassland in Argentina
(Wiley, 2016-07)
Questions: What is the effect of a range of controlled stocking rates on plant species richness and diversity? Location: Subtropical grasslands of Corrientes, Argentina, South America. Methods: We studied the effect of ...
Evaluación de un sistema de manejo de Axonopus catarinensis en rotación basado en el remanente de forraje no pastado (Renopa) = Long-term assessment of a new rotational-grazing management strategy called PUP-grazing (proportion of un-grazed pasture)
(CIAT, 2018-01)
Una nueva estrategia de pastoreo rotativo – Renopa (remanente no pastado) – fue comparada productiva y económicamente con el pastoreo rotativo tradicional (PRT) en pasturas de Axonopus catarinensis durante dos periodos ...
Changes in vegetation and in the organic fraction soil related with grazing and fire histories in the Patagonian Monte, Argentina
(Nova Science Publishers, 2015)
In terrestrial ecosystems the vegetation and soil co-evoluted in response to some disturbance. In arid and semi-arid lands around the world vegetation is distributed in patches within a bare-soil matrix. Such vegetation ...
Seed removal by different functional mammal groups in a protected and grazed landscape of the Monte, Argentina
(Cambridge University Press, 2017-09)
Mammal species contribute in different ways to seed dispersal effectiveness, acting as endozoochorous dispersers, scatter-hoarders and seed predators. Seed removal by these functional mammal groups could be affected by ...
Variation of grazing‐induced vegetation changes across a large‐scale productivity gradient
(Wiley, 2014-01)
Questions: Does the magnitude of grazing‐induced changes in species composition vary with habitat productivity? How does the sign and magnitude of grazing effects on species richness and beta‐diversity change with increasing ...
