CHANGES IN WATER HOLDING CAPACITY OF ARTEMISIA DIFFUSA IN THE CONDITION OF DIFFERENT SHEEP GRAZING INTENSITIES

Soil water holding capacity (WHC) is an important indicator of its ability to retain moisture and support plant growth. This study investigated the variation in (WHC) characteristics of Artemisia diffusa, a common forage plant species, under different grazing intensities under livestock grazing conditions. Four intensities of livestock grazing were defined: initial (IG), light (LG), medium (MG), and heavy (HG). This study suggests that proper rangeland management can improve the water retention capacity of A.diffusa and increase its tolerance to drought conditions.
