Grassland management impacts ecosystem functioning and is critical for livestock production and biodiversity conservation. Decreasing the stocking rate usually benefits biodiversity but also decreases production per unit area. Here, we assessed the combined effects of cattle herd and pasture size on sward structure, diet quality and daily grazing time while maintaining a constant stocking rate. The...
Question
Do the effects of grazing and fertilization on taxonomic and functional diversity follow the dynamic equilibrium model?
Location
Long‐term permanent upland grasslands, Massif‐central, France.
Methods
Over 8 yr, we monitored vegetation changes in 24 experimental plots in two productive grasslands after modification of grazing intensity (including abandonment) or fertilization regime (including...
