Effects of cattle grazing on survival and regrowth of Miscanthus sinensis tillers

摘要：

Miscanthus sinensis is one of the major native grass species in eastern Asia.Although it has been recognized that M iscanthus grasslands were maintained by moderate use ( e.g., cutting, burning or grazing), a long‐term experiment recently indicated that the grasslands were deteriorated by cattle grazing ( Hirata et al., 2007).This suggests that cattle grazing gives different impacts on M.sinensis in comparison with cutting.The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between damages of tillers to M.sinensis by cattle grazing and deterioration of M iscanthus grasslands.
