Grassland soil carbon sequestration: Current understanding, challenges, and solutions

Science, 2022
Grasslands store approximately one third of the global terrestrial carbon stocks and can act as an important soil carbon sink. Recent studies show that plant diversity increases soil organic carbon (SOC) storage by elevating carbon inputs to belowground ...

Long‐term active restoration of extremely degraded alpine grassland accelerated turnover and increased stability of soil carbon

Global Change Biology, 2020
Soil nutrient contents and organic carbon (C) stability are key indicators for restoration of degraded grassland. However, the effects of long‐term active restoration of extremely degraded grassland on soil parameters have been equivocal.

Grazing intensity significantly changes the C : N : P stoichiometry in grassland ecosystems

, 2020
AIM: Livestock grazing can alter carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) cycles, thereby affecting the C : N : P stoichiometry in grasslands. In this study, we aimed to examine mechanisms underlying the impacts of grazing on grassland C : N : P ...

Effect of grassland degradation on aggregate‐associated soil organic carbon of alpine grassland ecosystems in the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau

European Journal of Soil Science, 2019
One of the important mechanisms for the stabilization of soil organic carbon (SOC) is its spatial inaccessibility for microbial biodegradation within soil aggregates.
