Abstract
•Overstocking has been the main cause of grazing land degradation; whereas managed grazing can maintain and promote optimal ecological functioning of grazing lands.•Based on 348 papers published between 2008 and 2024, we did a bibliometric analysis of grazing management across diverse grazing lands.•The number of articles published on grazing management associated with grazing lands has displayed an increasing trend since 2008, with the United States and China contributing the most papers.•The main research topics were range conditions and conservation management between 2010 and 2011, but they shifted to biodiversity and remote sensing between 2021 and 2024. Additionally, soil microbial diversity, carbon sequestration, multifunctionality, and ecological restoration appeared frequently as keywords in 2023 and 2024, while the effects of grazing on biodiversity, plant biomass, and nutrient dynamics in relation to climate change were researched widely.•Today, the keywords of remote sensing and artificial intelligence appeared frequently in papers on grazing management, and their importance will likely increase in the future.
