Verification of the biomass transfer hypothesis under moderate grazing across the Tibetan plateau: a meta-analysis

Jian Sun et al.

Summary: The study found that aboveground biomass, soil water content, soil organic carbon, soil total nitrogen, and soil total phosphorus decreased significantly with increased grazing intensities on the Tibetan Plateau. On the other hand, plant species richness, soil bulk density, and root to shoot ratio displayed an opposite trend. Belowground biomass did not differ significantly between light and heavy grazing intensities but increased notably under moderate grazing intensity, supporting the biomass transfer hypothesis.

Diversity of plant and soil microbes mediates the response of ecosystem multifunctionality to grazing disturbance

Ruiyang Zhang et al.

Summary: The study found that increasing grazing intensity significantly reduced ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) and most individual ecosystem functions, as well as the diversity of plants and microbes. Plant diversity played a more important role in mediating the response of EMF to grazing disturbance, compared to soil microbial diversity.
