- The cascading impacts of livestock grazing in upland ecosystems: a 10‐year experiment (2015) · Ecosphere · cited 75× · 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.

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