Moderate grazing promotes the root biomass in Kobresia meadow on the northern Qinghai–Tibet Plateau

Abstract Grazing is an important modulator of both plant productivity and biodiversity in grassland community, yet how to determine a suitable grazing intensity in alpine grassland is still controversy. Here, we explore the effects of different grazing intensities on plant biomass and species compos...
