- W2023989824 abstract "Summary1. The interactions between adjacent trophic levels are essential for ecosystem functioning andstability. Grazing by domestic herbivores is an essential interaction in grasslands, but littleinformation is available on the nature of relationship between plant and insect diversity undergrazing by large herbivores.2. We examined the effects of large herbivores on the relationship between plant and insectdiversity with five grazing treatments (control, cattle, goat, sheep and a mixture of the threegrazing types) across three plant diversity levels (low: 4–5 species, intermediate: 8–9 speciesand high: 15–17 species) in a meadow steppe.3. We found that the grazing treatments did not significantly affect plant species richness, butreduced plant biomass, plant height and cover. Grazers affected variation in plant height dif-ferently at different plant diversity levels, and this variation increased at the low plant diver-sity level and decreased at the high plant diversity level after grazing. A similar pattern wasobserved for insect species richness: grazing had a positive impact at the low plant diversitylevel, but had a negative impact at the high plant diversity level.4. In the absence of grazing, insect species richness was positively associated with plant spe-cies richness, but it decreased with increasing plant diversity in the grazing treatments. Thiswas attributed to strong responses of insect species richness to plant height heterogeneityunder grazing by large herbivores, implying that plant structural heterogeneity is more impor-tant than plant diversity in influencing insect diversity in grazed grasslands.5. Synthesis and applications. Grazing by large herbivores may reverse the positive relation-ship between plant diversity and insect diversity by modifying plant structural heterogeneity.Therefore, the spatial heterogeneity of vegetation structure should be given more attention infuture work on plant–insect interactions. This study further highlights the importance ofusing large herbivore grazing in management actions, not only to maintain diversity but alsoto mediate trophic interactions in grasslands.Key-words: grassland, grazing, insect species richness, large herbivores, plant species rich-ness, plant structural heterogeneity, variation in plant heightIntroduction" @default.
