The meta‐analysis showed that overall, herbivore exclusion decreased species richness (mean and 95% CIs = −0.14 (−0.25, −0.02))
Contexto
What changed: Experimental plots excluded mammalian livestock herbivores using fences. Comparison: Naturally grazed grassland plots. Limits: Small number of available studies in Andean ecosystems, with most experiments lasting only a few years (median duration 2 years).
