A 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...
