A) Locations of sample sites in seasonal exclosures (Alalili), dry season rangeland (DryRL) and rainy season rangeland (RainRL) of the community of Loibor Siret, Tanzania. This simplified map was created through participatory mapping including information by the community grazing committee and our partner NGO “African People & Wildlife”. B) Experimental blocks established at our sample sites with quadrats, containing plots, protected by a fence (fenced) or quadrats, containing plots, open for grazing (grazed). Half of the quadrats, containing plots were clipped every month (month), the other half were clipped after one growing period (season). The map was created using the free and open source QGIS version 3.10.4.
