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 ...

Some environmental aspects of grassland cultivation; the effects of ploughing depth, grassland age, and nitrogen demand of subsequent crops [PDF]
, 2012 The Netherlands has submitted a derogation under the Nitrate Directives to the European Union (EU) in 2000. In the final opinion by a group of experts about the Dutch derogation, recommendations on ploughing of grasslands were included dealing with i ...

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

The economic value of grassland ecosystem services: A global meta‐analysis
Grassland Research, 2022 Background Grasslands provide a wide variety of ecosystem services that contribute to human wellbeing. While an increasing number of studies are evaluating the monetary value of grassland ecosystem services, most of them focus on specific grassland ...

The effects of management practices on grassland birds — An introduction to North American grasslands and the practices used to manage grasslands and grassland birds [PDF]
Professional Paper, 2019 Summary The Great Plains of North America is defined as the land mass that encompasses the entire central portion of the North American continent that, at the time of European settlement, was an unbroken expanse of primarily herbaceous vegetation. The Great Plains extend from central Saskatchewan and Alberta to central Mexico and from Indiana to the ...

Grassland management impacts on soil carbon stocks: a new synthesis.
Ecological Applications, 2017 Grassland ecosystems cover a large portion of Earths' surface and contain substantial amounts of soil organic carbon. Previous work has established that these soil carbon stocks are sensitive to management and land use changes: grazing, species ...

Climatic change controls productivity variation in global grasslands. [PDF]
, 2016 Detection and identification of the impacts of climate change on ecosystems have been core issues in climate change research in recent years. In this study, we compared average annual values of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) with ...
