Grazing led to an increase in the root: shoot ratio and a shallow root system in an alpine meadow of the Tibetan plateau
Grazing is a main land use of natural grasslands in the world, which has both positive and negative impact on plant community structure and ecosystem functioning. However, the effects of long-term grazing management on the plant–soil system, in particular above- and belowground community characteris...
