3.3 Response of quantitative characteristics of shrubby plants to
stocking rate
Grazing had a controlling effect on individual shrubs. The individual
quantitative characteristics of Artemisia frigida , Kochia
prostrata , Caragana microphylla and Ceratoides latensshrubs at different stocking rates are shown in Figure 6.Artemisia frigida was the most sensitive to the stocking rate,
followed by Caragana microphylla and Ceratoides latens ,
while Kochia prostrata had a slow response to stocking rate.
