Results from multivariate ANOVA (Table 3 ) show that stocking rate, year, and month all had highly significant effects on the importance value of S. breviflora ( p < 0.01).
Results from multivariate ANOVA (Table 3 ) show that stocking rate, year, and month all had highly significant effects on the importance value of S. breviflora ( p < 0.01).
breviflora generally showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with rising grazing intensity.
However, the relationship between growing season rainfall and average standing biomass did not reach statistical significance.
Overall, the contribution rate displayed an increasing trend with higher grazing intensity (Figure 2H ).
