Sampling site (a) and three grazing practices (b) in this study. FG, free grazing; RG, reduce grazing; GE, grazing exclusion.

Ruiyu Fu et al. explored the effects of different #GrazingPractices (free grazing, reduced grazing, grazing exclusion) on the #SoilHydrologicalProperties of #AlpineMeadows.

Sampling site (a) and three grazing practices (b) in this study. FG, free grazing; RG, reduce grazing; GE, grazing exclusion.

Aboveground biomass (AGB) (a) and belowground biomass (BGB) (b) across three grazing practices.

💡 #SoilHydrologicalProperties in response to different #GrazingPractices in the #AlpineMeadows of the #QinghaiTibetanPlateau
Results:
#GrazingExclusion improves topsoil #Water-holdingCapacity, #ReducedGrazingPractices enhances deep #SoilWaterRetentionCapacity.
