Grazing intensity impacts grassland diversity and ecosystem services dramatically.
Grazing can impact grasslands, with high intensity grazing leading to more exposed soil and invasive species. Moderate grazing, however, can help maintain plant diversity and ecosystem services like controlling invasive species and pollination. The study found that grazing intensity affects the composition of plant species and soil exposure, highlighting the need for tailored grazing management to balance ecosystem health and conservation goals in arid grasslands.
