• Differential responses of plant functional trait to grazing between two contrasting dominant C3 and C4 species in a typical steppe of Inner Mongolia, China (2011, background): “Therefore, plant resistance to grazing is associated with both avoidance traits (e.g., small height and leaf size), and tolerance traits (e.g., high SLA and leaf N content) (Cingolani et al. 2005; Díaz et al. 2001).”
• How does grazing intensity influence the diversity of plants and insects in a species‐rich upland grassland on basalt soils? (2009, background): “…grazing-tolerant grass species (C-S-R and C types) became more abundant at the High stocking rate, which confirms that tolerance is a most successful strategy for coping with grazing in environments with relatively high resource availability (Cingolani et al., 2005; Louault et al., 2005).”
• Filtering processes in the assembly of plant communities: Are species presence and abundance driven by the same traits? (2007, background): “They are also fundamental in the definition of plant general strategy (Grime et al. 1997; Westoby 1998) and response to grazing (Díaz et al. 2001, 2007; Cingolani et al. 2005a).”
• Importance of species abundance for assessment of trait composition: an example based on pollinator communities (2007, background): “This has been shown for trait average only in plant studies by Ackerly et al. (2002) and Cingolani et al. (2005).”
• Effects of livestock breed and grazing intensity on biodiversity and production in grazing systems. 2. Diet selection (2007, background): “They also selected short rather than tall vegetative patches, consistent with the usually higher nutritive value of short vegetative patches (McNaughton, 1984; Wallis De Vries and Daleboudt, 1994; Cingolani et al., 2005 ).”
