Livestock Herbivory Shapes Fire Regimes and Vegetation Structure Across the Global Tropics

2019-11-01

Abstract excerpt

Livestock grazing is the most extensive human land use and one of the key drivers of the conversion of tropical forests into grasslands. Livestock effects on vegetation structure are complex, as they can prevent tree recruitment and growth through browsing and trampling, but they can also affect vegetation indirectly through fire interactions. However, a systematic analysis of the overall effects of livestock acro...
