Short-term grazing exclusion has no impact on soil properties and nutrients of degraded alpine grassland in Tibet, China

Short-term grazing exclusion has no impact on soil properties and nutrients of degraded alpine grassland in Tibet, China

Since the 1980s, alpine grasslands have been seriously degraded on the Tibetan Plateau. Grazing exclusion by fencing has been widely adopted to restore degraded grasslands. To clarify the effect of grazing exclusion on soil quality, we investigated soil properties and nutrients by comparing free-gra...
