The Impact on the Vegetation of Stipa Breviflora Desert Steppe Under Different Grazing Systems and Rotational Grazing TimeAbstractThe paper studied on the vegetation of Stipa breviflora desert steppe during 2010-2012, which in order to reveal the variations of the main plant population and community in Stipa breviflora desert steppe under different grazing systems and grazing time using contrastive analysis, association study and geostatistical analysis. The main results were as follows:The coverage and density of Stipa breviflora were larger in early grazing and the coverage and density of Cleistogenes songorica were larger in medium grazing . In different grazing systems, the height of Stipa breviflora, Allium polyrhizum and Cleistogenes songoriea in rotational grazing were higher than those in continuous grazing. The coverage and density of Stipa breviflora in continuous grazing were higher than those in rotational grazing, while the coverage and density of Cleistogenes songorica and the coverage of Allium polyrhizum in rotational grazing were higher than those in continuous grazing. The important values of Stipa breviflora were low in medium grazing, while in contrast the important values of Cleistogenes songorica were low in late grazing and the highest in medium grazing. The important values of Stipa breviflora were higher in continuous grazing than that in rotational grazing, and rotational grazing had better increased the important values of Cleistogenes songorica than continuous grazing.In different grazing systems, aboveground biomass of Stipa breviflora in continuous grazing was greater than that in rotational grazing, while on the contrary for Allium polyrhizum and Cleistogenes songoriea. The changes of aboveground biomass in continuous grazing were affected obviously by the main plant population, and percentage in total aboveground biomass was more than 70%.The rotational grazing brought the main plant population base greater, while the continuous grazi
