Are shrubs really a sign of declining ecosystem function? Disentangling the myths and truths of woody encroachment in Australia (2014, background): “N-fixing woody species enhance plant biomass and soil fertility until they reach densities sufficient to promote P limitation, which reduces forage quantity and quality (Riginos et al. 2009; Sitters et al. 2013).”
Lessons on the relationship between livestock husbandry and biodiversity from the Kenya Long-term Exclosure Experiment (KLEE) (2012, background): “Through a large-scale manipulation of tree density in our study system, we have demonstrated that grass production is suppressed in areas with more trees (Riginos et al. 2009), reducing the forage available to grazing wildlife and livestock.”
