However, data from combined empirical studies on the effects of different management regimes in desert grasslands are lacking.

• The cascading impacts of livestock grazing in upland ecosystems: a 10‐year experiment (2015) · doi

  Although the short‐term effects of livestock grazing on individual species are well studied, a mechanistic understanding of the long‐term, cascading impacts is lacking.

• Short‐term responses of native bees to livestock and implications for managing ecosystem services in grasslands (2012) · doi

  Yet few studies have investigated how different intensities of livestock grazing impact one important provider of these ecosystem services—native bees.

• Effects of different fencing regimes on community structure of degraded desert grasslands on Mu Us desert, China (2019) · doi

  However, data from combined empirical studies on the effects of different management regimes in desert grasslands are lacking.

• Diversifying stocking practices within rangelands supports diverse plant-pollinator communities and interactions (2026) · doi

  Grazing management can alter the impact of livestock by varying grazing timing and intensity, but its ecological impacts remain poorly understood.
