Abstract Aims The general effects of grazing by large herbivores on plant species composition and productivity are well known. Meanwhile, how different livestock affect community structure is not fully understood. In northern China, changing rapidly hence, it imperative to understand the resulting grassland composition. Location Xilingol, Inner Mongolia, China. Methods We studied three major affects typical steppe dominated Leymus chinensis , Stipa grandis Cleistogenes squarrosa Carex...

Abstract Aims Grazing different grasslands with seasonal changes is the tradition in pastoral systems natural grassland regions worldwide. The effects and mechanisms of grazing seasons on semi‐arid steppe vegetation are less explored Mongolian Plateau. Therefore, we assessed impact underlying community structure production. Location Xilingol, Inner Mongolia, China. Methods We conducted a three‐year experiment to investigate four under same intensities plant production typical rangeland. was...

Abstract Aims Nutrient resorption is a key plant nutrient conservation strategy, and its response to environmental management changes linked cycling production of ecosystems. Defoliation major pathway mowing affecting in grasslands, while the effect defoliation timing has not been unexplored. The aim this study was examine on steppe ecosystem. Methods We conducted field experiment semi-arid Inner Mongolia including four treatments: early defoliation, peak late non-defoliation. measured...

There are various types of land use in the agricultural and pastoral areas northern China, including natural grassland artificial grassland, scrub land, forest farmland, may change soil microbial community However, communities these different remain poorly understood. In this study, we compared five within agro-pastoral ecotone China. Our results showed that has had a considerable impact on bacterial fungal structures. Bacterial diversity was highest shrubland lowest grassland; woodland....

Environmental circumstances shaping soil microbial communities have been studied extensively. However, due to disparate study designs, it has difficult resolve whether a globally consistent set of predictors exists, or context-dependency prevails. Here, we used network 18 grassland sites (11 those containing regional plant productivity gradients) examine (i) if similar abiotic biotic factors predict both large-scale (across sites) and regional-scale (within patterns in bacterial fungal...

Abstract Nutrient resorption in autumn is a key mechanism of perennial plants for nutrient conservation and efficient use grassland. Grazing effects on plant may alter root affect growth the subsequent spring. There are many studies grazing grassland, but few have investigated effect Taking Stipa grandis, dominant grass semi-arid steppe as model plant, we examined nitrogen (N) phosphorous (P) traits (resorption efficiency, proficiency flux) (root biomass pool) autumn, (height, spring, an...
