Background:Due to the effects of climate change and overgrazing in recent decades,alternative stable states in the alpine Kobresia meadow degradation process have coexisted in the same geographical and climatic enviro...
Rangelands worldwide have been subject to broadscale modification,such as widespread predator control,intro-duction of permanent livestock water and altered vegetation to improve grazing.In Australia,these landscape ch...

Degradation of meadow ecosystems in the largest alpine region of the world,i.e.,the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau(QTP),is a crucial ecological issue that has ardently discussed in recent years.Many factors,such as livestock...
As a result of overgrazing and deforestation in the mid-1950s, along with the advent of global warming, China is now affected by deforestation as it is impacting 400 million people. Researchers estimate that this scou...
The main grassland plain of Nech Sar National Park(NSNP)is a federally managed protected area in Ethiopia designated to protect endemic and endangered species.However,like other national parks in Ethiopia,the park has...
