Plant Species and Functional Types’ Diversity in Relation to Grazing in Arid and Semi-arid Rangelands, Khabr National Park, Iran
In arid and semi-arid rangelands, grazing as one of the natural or human induced processes has direct and indirect effects on structure and dynamics of plant community and ecosystems. A study was done to analyze the effects of grazing on plant species diversity and Plant Functional Types‘ (PFTs) diversity of arid and semi-arid rangelands. We analyzed plant richness and diversity data from 75 sa...
متن کاملAlfalfa Water Use and Yield under Different Sprinkler Irrigation Regimes in North Arid Regions of China
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is one of the major crops grown in Northern China in recent years, however, the current serious water shortage conditions present a challenge to the growth of this crop, especially if efficient use of water is considered in forage production for sustainability. This study aimed to evaluate alfalfa productivity and water use efficiency (WUE) under different sprinkler ir...

متن کاملتغییرات تنوع گونه‌ای و گروه‌های کارکردی در ارتباط با چرای دام در مراتع استپی ندوشن یزد
Grazing of Livestock is one of the factors having influence on the structure and dynamics of the range land vegetation. Grazing management is a vital factor to control the intensity of the rangeland ecosystems degradation. In this study, plant functional traits and diversity and richness properties were used to assess the vegetation response to different grazing intensities. This was done in No...
متن کاملA six-year grazing exclusion changed plant species diversity of a Stipa breviflora desert steppe community, northern China
Excluding grazers is one of most efficient ways to restore degraded grasslands in desert-steppe communities, but may negatively affect the recovery of plant species diversity. However, diversity differences between grazed and fenced grasslands in desert-steppe are poorly known. In a Stipa breviflora desert steppe community in Northern China, we established six plots to examine spatial patterns ...
