• Identifying response groups of soil nitrifiers and denitrifiers to grazing and associated soil environmental drivers in Tibetan alpine meadows (2014, background): “Grazing is a common land use in grasslands that influences plant species diversity, drives community successions, and can stimulate belowground nutrient cycling and energy flows (Milchunas and Lauenroth, 1993; Augustine and Frank, 2001; Altesor et al., 2005).”
• A trait-based approach to comparative functional plant ecology: concepts, methods and applications for agroecology. A review (2012, background): “Leoni et al. (2009) report that inter-specific differences in RGRmax measured under controlled conditions on dominant species of grazed and ungrazed plots of Uruguayan grasslands tend to scale up with above-ground NPP (ANPP) measured in these plots (Altesor et al. 2005).”
• Species Diversity, Community Structure, and Distribution Patterns in Western Himalayan Alpine Pastures of Kashmir, Pakistan (2011, background): “It is recommended by vegetation scientists that grazing practices in these fragile alpine communities above 2000 m should be limited and controlled and that they should be carried out in late summer after the full vegetation growth (Altesor et al 2005).”
• Recovery of plant species composition and ecosystem function after cessation of grazing in a Mediterranean grassland (2010, background): “Grazing is a key factor affecting ecosystem functions in grasslands (Altesor et al. 2005; Noy-Meir et al. 1989; Perevolotsky and Seligman 1998), particularly primary productivity and nutrient cycling ( Altesor et al. 2005; Marriott et al. 2004; Olofsson et al. 2004).”
