• Grazing Management in Tropical Savannas: Utilization and Rest Strategies to Manipulate Rangeland Condition (2011, background): “…condition and transitions between states in commercial enterprises needs to be better informed by process and system response to different grazing management strategies and their interaction with climate, which is a key driver of system dynamics (Fynn and O’Connor 2000; Fuhlendorf et al. 2001).”
• Themeda triandra: a keystone grass species (2013, background): “Conversely, light grazing and good rainfall can result in an increase in Themeda abundance and production (Fynn and O’Connor 2000).”
• Patterns and thresholds of grazing‐induced changes in community structure and ecosystem functioning: species‐level responses and the critical role of species traits (2017, background): “Plants in the slope position have less capacity to respond to defoliation (Fynn & O’Connor 2000).”
• Interactive Effects of Ungulate Herbivores, Soil Fertility, and Variable Rainfall on Ecosystem Processes in a Semi-arid Savanna (2006, unknown): “This hypothesis has been contested on theoretical (Illius and O’Connor 1999, 2000) and empirical grounds (Oba and others 2000, Fynn and O’Connor 2000), and the degree to which large herbivores influence aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) in climatically variable ecosystems remains unclear. ”
• EFFECTS OF GRAZING INTENSITY AND BUSH ENCROACHMENT ON HERBACEOUS SPECIES AND RANGELAND CONDITION IN SOUTHERN ETHIOPIA (2014, background): “…that arid and semi-arid rangelands are determined largely by the effect of climate (Ellis and Swift, 1988; Fernandez-Gimenez and Allen-Diaz, 1999; Fynn and O’Connor, 2000; Oba et al., 2000a), studies at the individual level may disclose how the loss of herbaceous species is accelerated by the…”
• In search of optimal stocking regimes in semi-arid grazing lands: one size does not fit all (2006, background): “The ecological argument for tracking is that by keeping grazing pressure constant and at or below carrying capacity, overgrazing can be avoided and an optimum grazing pressure (Fynn and O'Connor, 2000) can be maintained at all times.”
