High species richness of sheep-grazed sand pastures is driven by disturbance-tolerant and weedy short-lived species.

Along the grazing intensity gradient, we found an increasing trend for species richness and the biomass of short‐lived forbs; while green biomass, litter and graminoid biomass showed a decreasing trend.

Along the grazing intensity gradient we found an increasing trend in species richness and significant differences in green biomass (decreasing trend), litter (decreasing trend), graminoids (decreasing trend) and short‐lived forbs (increasing trend).
