Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Grazing was primarily responsible for changes in vegetation richness and diversity in the grazed grassland.
- Association Changing climate was the main reason for changes in species richness and diversity in grassland protected from grazing.
- Intervention effect Light and moderate grazing can promote restoration of richness and diversity in the degraded grassland.
- Intervention effect Heavy grazing could decrease richness and diversity.
- Intervention effect Heavy grazing significantly decreased perennial diversity.
- Intervention effect Moderate and light grazing promoted an increase of perennial diversity.
- Intervention effect Heavy grazing was not beneficial to the diversity of Graminean and Chenopodiaceae.
- Intervention effect Moderate and light grazing was favorable to the diversity of Compositae and Chenopodiaceae.
- Association Warm-humid climate was favorable to increased richness and diversity.
- Association Warm-drought climate could decrease richness and diversity.
- Association Increased precipitation was favorable to perennial diversity and to the diversity of Graminean, Leguminosae and Compositae.
- Association Decreased precipitation had few effects on annual diversity and Chenopodiaceae diversity.
