From the savannas of Sub-Saharan Africa to the prairies of the Northern Great Plains and cool temperate steppes, about 40 percent of the Earth’s landmass is covered with grasses. These grasslands host ...

Light competition drives herbivore and nutrient effects on plant diversity. Nature, 2022; DOI: 10.1038/s41586-022-05383-9 ...

Less intensively managed grasslands have higher plant diversity and better soil health Date: November 25, 2022 Source: UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology Summary: Researchers have shown -- for the ...

Researchers have shown - for the first time - that less intensively managed British grazed grasslands have on average 50% more plant species and better soil health than intensively managed ...

Global change—which includes climate change, pollution and other widespread environmental alterations—is transforming the plant species growing in them, and not always in the ways scientists expected, ...

(1) Differences in plant species' abundances in response to cattle grazing and protection were measured across fences at fifteen sites in productive semi-natural mediterranean grasslands. The results ...

An important question in conservation biology is whether the biodiversity of different taxa is correlated. We studied the extent to which the number of species of six different taxa-plants, birds, ...
