Li Lin et al. found that #AlpineShrub and #AridAlpineSwampMeadows may undergo succession to alpine #KobresiaHumilis or #KobresiaPygmaea meadows in #Overgrazing conditions. Grazing influences the characteristics and #SuccessionProcess of the plant communities.

In #Mongolia, #Overgrazing and the resulting degradation of rangelands are recognized as serious issues. To protect it, Kohei Suzuki et al. explored the #Composition, #Distribution and #EnvironmentalDrivers of Mongolian #RangelandPlantCommunities.
