Reviewer 2 Report

1. All over the manuscript, the 'is' tense is being used instead of 'was'. Please correct them appropriately.

2. A diagrammatic presentation of material and method would more appropriately improve the quality of the article and its readability.

3. The climate needs to be categorized into 2 or 3 so as to explain what happens during one climatic typology as it is a long-term experiment.

4. The author has not mentioned anything about what is happening with soil carbon and nitrogen. If they have collected the data sets, they can present an overview of it here.

5. The title shows "development of cattle breeding", but the mention of this part is missing in the manuscript. The authors need to verify the title else they may add some content related to it.

Reviewer 3 Report

The information on the variations of the ecosystem studied is accompanied by data from disciplinary studies established for a considerable period of time, this condition allows us to recognize that such changes are extraordinary, both for the speed with which they are happening and for the detailed description Of the agents that have enabled such events, I would recommend to the authors that from these results proposals for sustainable management of the meadows be generated, which favor the improvement in the conditions of grazing and hay production.
