Changing grazing intensity in upland habitats affects the variety and composition of plant species. Increasing grazing makes the vegetation more similar, while reducing grazing leads to more changes in plant species. Different types of grasslands respond differently to grazing changes, with some being more stable than others. Overall, managing grazing in upland areas involves balancing between stability and making the vegetation more similar.
