Abstract:The cultivated grassland is usually constructed with cocksfoot and white clover as the main species in Weining,Guizhou province.The grassland was divided into different zones for grazing,which explored effect of grazing intensity of different sheep groups on plant community and soil properties of cultivated grassland in the experiment.The results showed that the height of plant community and aboveground biomass were significantly decreased under the high grazing intensity (P<0.05),while there were no significant differences on the height of plant community and aboveground biomass in medium and low grazing intensity groups,the frequency and coverage of cocksfoot and white clover were decreased by grazing.There was no significant differences by grazing on soil bulk in the topsoil layer.On the contrast,soil bulk in the 10~30 cm soil layer was 32% higher than other grazing intensity.There were significant differences (P<0.05) on soil chemical properties by grazing intensity,with the increasing of grazing intensity,there was a decreasing trend on soil nutrient content.Regarding the grassland yield and restoring ability,the optimal capacity on livestock of cultivated grassland was 17~23 SU/hm2 in Weining,Guizhou province.
