“…Many studies have documented how overgrazing can alter both pasture production and the composition and structure of grassland (Pulido, Schnabel, Lozano‐Parra, & González, ; Török et al, ; Tóth et al, ). For instance, the regenerative ability of grasslands was significant reduced, and the physical and chemical properties of soil were clearly altered (for example soil bulk density, soil water content and soil nutrients) following overgrazing (Byrnes, Eastburn, Tate, & Roche, ; Lin et al, ). There is growing evidence that soil bulk density and soil moisture content, respectively, increase and decrease significantly, after long‐term heavy grazing (Hofstede, ; Lu et al, ).…”
