e1“overgrazing led to significant (p < 0.05) reduction in CP, K, P, DMD and ME and a significant (p < 0.05) increase in ADF in A. sieberi and Z. eurypterum, in comparison to plants from non-grazed areas”

- Intervention effect Overgrazing significantly reduced crude protein, potassium and phosphorus in Artemisia sieberi.
- Intervention effect Overgrazing significantly reduced digestibility and metabolic energy of Artemisia sieberi.
- Intervention effect Overgrazing significantly increased acid detergent fibre in Artemisia sieberi.
- Intervention effect Overgrazing significantly reduced crude protein, potassium and phosphorus in Zygophyllum eurypterum.
- Intervention effect Overgrazing significantly increased acid detergent fibre in Zygophyllum eurypterum.
- Association Crude protein was the most sensitive qualitative parameter to overgrazing in Artemisia sieberi.
- Association Shrubs showed more susceptibility to overgrazing than the grass Stipa barbata.
- Association Stipa barbata was less affected by overgrazing.
- Recommendation A rational grazing system is required where Artemisia sieberi and Zygophyllum eurypterum are present.
