Article Synopsis
- Grazing significantly affects grassland plant reproductive traits, leading to an increase in the number of tillers and vegetative branches but a decrease in the number of flowers and reproductive branches, especially in grasses.
- Grazing encourages plants to shift from sexual to asexual reproduction, particularly under varying conditions of grazing intensity, precipitation, and duration.
- This meta-analysis of 114 studies highlights the need for sustainable grazing management strategies to support both human needs and ecosystem health.
