Changes in A. pedunculata populations in response to the two grazing modes: the upper part, free grazing; the lower part, limited grazing. The compared indices include maximum crown diameter and height of A. pedunculata shrubs in a sampled 10 × 10 m plot, as well as density and total crown area of all A. pedunculata shrubs in each plot.
