Theoretical model of the confirmatory-exploratory path analysis, where (A) represents the paths of the indirect effect of livestock type via impacts on vegetation structure; (B) represents the livestock type specific direct effects; (C) represents the direct effect of animal density through disturbance impacts on birds. For detailed information of model construction, see Supplementary Information S2.
