Assessing soil and native high Andean grassland quality under grazing: A case study from the wet Puna of Peru

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High Andean grasslands are vulnerable to changes in their nutritional quality and carbon sequestration capacity, especially in grazing systems. This study evaluated soil quality and native grasses by measuring carbon, physicochemical parameters, and the nutritional quality of predominant species in the wet Puna of Junín, Peru.
