Summary
The Qilian Mountains serve as a crucial ecological security barrier in western China, and the soil structural stability of alpine meadows directly affects regional ecological security and the sustainable utilization of grasslands. However, current research on grazing mostly relies on short-term artificially controlled experiments, which differ greatly from the pattern of long-term natural grazing. Herein, this study abandoned the artificially controlled grazing method and selected sampling areas with stable grazing regimes for more than a decade. Taking no grazing (CK) as the control, four treatments were established, including light grazing (LG), moderate grazing (MG), heavy grazing (HG) and extreme grazing (EG). The particle size distribution and stability of mechanically stable and wate
