Under favorable conditions, one-year grazing exclusion considerably enhanced species richness and evenness diversity compared to longer resting durations under dry to average rainfall conditions. The decision to how long livestock grazing exclusion would last should not be decided upfront as it depends on the climatic and the site-specific conditions.PDFCC-BY-4.0hill’s diversityplant communitygrazing strategyopportunistic grazingclimate adaptation and mitigationJournal ArticleOpen access
