Impacts of climate change and human activities on different degraded grassland based on NDVI
Scientific Reports, 2022 Grassland degradation has emerged as a serious socio-economic and ecological problem, endangering both long-term usage and the regional biogeochemical cycle. Climate change and human activities are the two leading factors leading to grassland degradation.

Grassland carbon sequestration and emissions following cultivation in a mixed crop rotation [PDF]
, 2012 Grasslands are potential carbon sinks to reduce unprecedented increase in atmospheric CO2. Effect of age (1 to 4-yr-old) and management (slurry, grazing multispecies mixture) of a grass phase mixed crop rotation on carbon sequestration and emissions upon

Soil carbon sequestration accelerated by restoration of grassland biodiversity
Nature Communications, 2019 Agriculturally degraded and abandoned lands can remove atmospheric CO2 and sequester it as soil organic matter during natural succession. However, this process may be slow, requiring a century or longer to re-attain pre-agricultural soil carbon levels ...

Climate Warming Consistently Reduces Grassland Ecosystem Productivity
Earth's Future, 2021 Future climate may profoundly impact the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. However, we do not know well how the functioning of different types of grassland ecosystems is associated with variation in temperature and precipitation.
