Effects of livestock grazing on plant species diversity vary along a climatic gradient in northeastern Iran
Original language description
We compared plots in northeastern Iran intensively grazed by sheep and goat to plots with low grazing intensity, across three climatic regions: arid, semi-arid and sub-humid. The former plots had lower values of Shannon than low-grazed plots. The effect of grazing on species diversity varied between the climatic regions, with the most pronounced differences between the high and low-grazed plots in the subhumid region. Compositional heterogeneity was the highest in the subhumid region and the lowest in the semi-arid region. As overgrazing was detected to reduce the diversity of species in all three climatic regions, the control of overgrazing or reduction of its intensity appears an effective management tool for protecting species diversity, applicable in areas with different climates.
