Vegetation dynamics under grazing disturbance. The state-and-transition model for the Patagonian steppes
Plant communities ín Patagonia have a low plant cover (10-60%) and are dominated by two main functional groups: shrubs and perennial grasses. Domestic grazing reduces total plant cover and favors the replacement of species within functional groups (grasses or shrubs) and the replacement of entire f...
