Fencing vs. Grazing: Divergent Effects on Soil Seed Bank Structure and Grassland Recovery Pathways in Northern Tibetan Alpine Grasslands

Fencing vs. Grazing: Divergent Effects on Soil Seed Bank Structure and Grassland Recovery Pathways in Northern Tibetan Alpine Grasslands

Alpine grasslands are a critical component of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau ecosystem, but their soil seed bank (SSB) patterns and driving mechanisms remain unclear under the influence of climate change and human activities. This study analyzed grazing exclusion (via fencing) and grazing effects using 1...
