Article Synopsis
- Livestock grazing significantly impacts ecosystems, particularly in grasslands, with varying intensity affecting biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF).
- This study, focusing on a yak grazing experiment in alpine meadows, found that while aboveground diversity showed a hump-shaped response to grazing intensity, belowground diversity had no significant change and EMF declined overall.
- The research emphasizes the importance of maintaining belowground diversity to support ecosystem health and functionality, as grazing affects carbon and nitrogen cycling but not phosphorus.
Plant litter decomposition is critical for carbon and nutrient cycling globally. However, the effect of large herbivore grazing on litter decomposition and its mechanisms remain less explored. Here, 1203 paired observations and 381 independent experiments were analyzed to determine how litter decomposition and nutrient cycling respond to changes in grazing intensity.

In this study, we investigated the ability of eight different kinds of microorganisms to degrade and release heavy metals from heavy metal enriched ryegrass, including 5 species of bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus pumilus-I, Bacillus pumilus-II and Bacillus cereus) and 3 of fungi (Phanerochaete chrysosporium, Trichoderma ressei and Pterula sp. strain QD-1), by growing them under uranium stress and assessing their ability to degrade biomass.
