Soil phosphorus and tree cover modify the effects of livestock grazing on plant species richness in Australian grassy woodland (2006, background): “…(substrate, aspect and landscape position) and land use (cultivation history) also influence plant species richness in these temperate grazing systems (McIntyre and Lavorel, 1994b; McIntyre and Martin, 2001; Clarke, 2003; McIntyre et al., 2003) and thus any models should consider these factors.”
Plant functional types: are we getting any closer to the Holy Grail? (2007, background): “Grazing tolerance of a number of species from Australian subtropical grasslands was found to covary with other disturbances (McIntyre et al. 2003), with the grazing tolerance of native species tending to decline in the presence of soil disturbance or water enrichment.”
