The aim of the present study was to evaluate species and community responses to cattle grazing at different intensities and to protection from grazing, in mediterranean grasslands in Israel. The following questions are addressed in this paper: How consistent are species' responses to grazing intensity and protection? Can most species be characterized as either grazing-increasers or protection-increasers? Are responses to grazing associated with attributes such as plant form, life cycle, taxonomic affiliation, palatability?
Noy‐Meir et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
