Carbon cycling in grasslands can be impacted by livestock grazing, partially as an indirect result of herbivory-induced compositional shifts in the pl...

Range management is based on the response of plant species and communities to grazing intensity. The identification of easily measured plant functiona...

Ungulates have reached such high densities in some natural ecosystems that culling is frequently used to reduce their impacts on vegetation. However, ...

Many grasslands worldwide are undergoing succession to woody vegetation, causing complex effects on carbon (C) sequestration, nutrient cycling and bio...

Many developing countries harbour large numbers of species that face little-understood, gradual changes in their environment, including chronic anthro...

Over the last 25 years, populations of seed-eating birds have declined severely over most of western Europe. Local extinctions have occurred in grassl...

Predicting how nature's contributions to people (NCP) vary spatially remains a challenge. For NCP provided by mobile species, it is unclear how predic...

Restoration of novel ecosystems to a historical benchmark may not always be possible or advisable. Novel ecosystems may be managed by targeting specif...

During the last century, many plant species typical of heathland and nutrient-poor acidic grasslands have become rare whereas others have remained com...
