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).禁牧（Grazing exclusion）被广泛应用于生态保护工作中，用以缓解草地退化与风蚀风险。然而，该措施可能导致植物物种丧失：恢复后的高大植被会遮蔽冠层下层物种。本数据集旨在阐明生物多样性丧失如何通过直接与间接路径（如种群稳定性、物种异步性）影响草地植物群落的时间稳定性。
