Cascading biodiversity and functional consequences of a global change–induced biome switch (2012, background): “…functioning associated with woody encroachment include changes in carbon stocks (and thus sequestration potential), nutrient cycling and hydrology (Asner et al., 2004; Bond, 2008), and at regional scales, there is the potential for large feedbacks to the earth-atmosphere system (Hoffmann et al.,…”
Grassland management impacts on soil carbon stocks: a new synthesis. (2017, background): “Several aspects of management could influence the amount of C stored in woody biomass (Asner et al. 2004).”
Agglomerating seeds to enhance native seedling emergence and growth (2012, background): “Rangelands constitute nearly half of the Earth’s land surface and provide multiple ecosystem services beneficial to human life (Asner et al. 2004; Havstad et al. 2007).”
The impacts of climate change on livestock and livestock systems in developing countries: A review of what we know and what we need to know (2009, background): “The response of grazing (LG) systems to global change was reviewed by Asner et al. (2004), but these authors conclude that the lack of process-based knowledge limits predictive capabilities – ‘‘We are currently unable to forecast the onset of desertification, woody encroachment, or even deforestatio”
Soil fungal abundance and plant functional traits drive fertile island formation in global drylands (2018, background): “The formation of fertile islands has also been recently attributed to the effects of grazing (Allington & Valone 2014), a major driver of ecosystem change in drylands worldwide (Asner et al. 2004).”
Strategies for Savanna Restoration in the Southern Great Plains: Effects of Fire and Herbicides (2006, background): “Although woody encroachment occurs globally and includes many species, geographically distant ecosystems suffer similar deleterious effects (Asner et al. 2004).”
Forage Legumes for Grazing and Conserving in Ruminant Production Systems (2015, background): “…complex and are the subject of numerous extensive reviews (Smolenski et al., 1981; D’Mello, 1992; Kumar et al., 1995; Reed, 1995; D’Mello, 2000; Aganga and Tshwenyane, 2003; Athanasiadou and Kyriazakis, 2004; Acamovic and Brooker, 2005; Ramı́rez-Restrepo and Barry, 2005; Patra and Saxena, 2009).”
Trait matching of flower visitors and crops predicts fruit set better than trait diversity (2015, background): “For example, the effect of the abundance of herbivores on primary production depends on the match between grazing habit and plant life forms (Asner et al. 2004).”
The proportion of soil-borne pathogens increases with warming at the global scale (2020, background): “Our analyses further indicated that MAT was the most important factor to influence the STE (unitless) –1.5 –1.0 –0.5 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 Elevation Spatial dissimilarity MAT TSEA MAP PSEA Grassland Forest Plant cover Soil pH Clay + silt Soil C P > 0.05 P 0.05 Shrublands (15) Other grasslands (4”
