Grazing exclusion reduces below-ground biomass of temperate subhumid grasslands of South America:A meta-analysis and a database.

There are several plant below-ground biomass databases for grasslands, but the contribution from the southern hemisphere is minimal. Particularly, no study has compiled the published values of plant below-ground biomass for the temperate subhumid grasslands of South America. In these grasslands, called Río de la Plata grasslands, grazing is the most frequent disturbance.
