Grazing decreased water use efficiency in Central Asia from 1979 to 2011
2018, Ecological ModellingTemporospatial patterns of human appropriation of net primary production in Central Asia grasslands
2018, Ecological IndicatorsCitation Excerpt :However, the grazing process was not effectively considered, leading to biased results (Haberl et al., 2007; Krausmann et al., 2013, 2012). Luo et al. (2012) developed the Biome-BGC grazing model by integrating a defoliation formulation (Seligman et al., 1992) into the Biome-BGC model, producing a grazing model for describing the effects of grazing on the carbon cycle of grassland ecosystems. The Biome-BGC grazing model is a process-based model that effectively estimates NPPpot, NPPact, and the carbon consumed by animals (Han et al., 2016; Luo et al., 2012).
Simulated grazing effects on carbon emission in Central Asia
2016, Agricultural and Forest MeteorologyCitation Excerpt :Biome-BGC does not include the grazing process in its original version in the application for grassland ecosystems. However, a defoliation formulation developed by Seligman et al. (1992) could calculate the biomass consumed by animals and analyze the production potential under grazing conditions in grasslands. This defoliation formulation was embedded in the Biome-BGC model, which was then referred to as the “Biome-BGC grazing model.”
Modeling the grazing effect on dry grassland carbon cycling with biome-BGC model
2014, Ecological ComplexityCitation Excerpt :For example, in CENTURY model, grazing effects are simply classified into four categories without taking different grazing intensity into account; Sim-CYCLE grazing model refer the herbivore as customer, but rather to estimate the feedback effect to grassland. On the contrary, Biome-BGC grazing model developed by Luo et al. (2012) integrate a defoliation formulation (Seligman et al., 1992) into Biome-BGC model, producing a grazing model for describing the effects of grazing on the carbon cycle of grassland ecosystems. Luo et al. (2012) applied Biome-BGC grazing model to investigate the effects of grazing on the aboveground NPP (ANPP) in Tianshan Mountains-Junggar Basin (TMJB) with four grasslands along a climatic gradient from mountain to plain.
Moderate grazing can promote aboveground primary production of grassland under water stress
2012, Ecological ComplexityCitation Excerpt :Biome-BGC did not include grazing process in its original version in the application for grassland ecosystems. However, a defoliation formulation developed by Seligman et al. (1992) was shown to be able to calculate the biomass consumed by animals and to analyze the production potential under grazing condition in grassland. The objectives of this paper were therefore (1) to integrate grazing process into Biome-BGC model for addressing the effects of grazing on ANPP along the climatic gradients and their variations during the period 1959–2009 in different grasslands from the mountain to basin over the TMJB, (2) to investigate the response of ANPP to grazing intensity and to speculate the possible underlying mechanisms, and (3) to discuss under what ecosystem-environmental conditions grazing can promote ANPP of grasslands in the Central Eurasia continent.
