Influence of exclosure year on community structure and species diversity on typical steppe

摘要

@@Introduction Exclosure is the most common method for the restoration of degraded grassland,but in China complete exclosure of livestock from grassland is often difficult because of the poor economic status of pastoral areas.One of the measures to resolve conflict is seasonal exclosure (Katoh,1998).In this study,we investigated the influence of years of seasonal exclosure on typical steppe grassland to provide guidance for grassland management.
