Temporal stability of semi-arid grasslands under a decade of grazing exclusion and reduced wind erosion

Grazing exclusion is widely used in ecological conservation to mitigate grassland degradation and wind erosion risk. However, this practice may result in plant species loss because restored taller vegetation can overshadow sub-canopy species. This dataset help understand how this biodiversity loss impacts temporal stability of grassland plant communities through both direct and indirect pathways (e.g., population stability and species asynchrony).
