Annual-grass invasions are transforming desert ecosystems in ways that affect ecosystem carbon (C) balance, but previous studies do not agree on the p...

In some ecosystems there is a positive feedback between forage quality and grazing intensity. This involves three components of plant tolerance to gra...
