Soil inoculation improves ecosystem function in degraded grasslands
2022<p>The improvement and protection of ecosystem function are important in the restoration of grassland ecosystem, especially in degraded grasslands. Soil inoculation provides an effective way for the restoration of degraded ecosystems.

The Power of Regeneration: Lessons from a Degraded Grassland
Restoration Ecology, 2007Abstract To gain insight into mechanisms controlling ecosystem regeneration, we investigated a grassland that was heavily polluted by a phosphate fertilizer factory between 1960 and 1990. Abiotic and biotic filters that influenced species assemblage and succession were monitored and restoration approaches assessed. Studies included the investigation of

Grasslands across the world are being degraded due to the impacts of overgrazing and climate change. However, the influences of grassland degradation on carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) dynamics and stoichiometry in soil ecosystems are not ...

Current status of grassland degradation and measures for grassland restoration in northern China
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2018Grasslands in northern China are traditionally important bases for livestock production and ecological barriers for China. However, these grasslands degraded extensively due to global climatic change and poor management during the past half century. Such grassland degradation leads to dramatic declines in multiple ecosystem functions.

Research Progress of the Grassland Carbon Cycle and Grassland Degradation in China
2019Grasslands, one of the most common vegetation types in the world, account for nearly 20% of the global land surface. The vast land cover and carbon sequestration potential make it become the important composition of the terrestrial carbon cycle. In China, grasslands mainly locate in the arid and semi-arid areas in the northwest and the Tibetan Plateau ...

Grassland degradation in the Western of Songnen plain
2011 19th International Conference on Geoinformatics, 2011Based on RS and GIS techniques, three-period (1986, 1995, 2000) remote sensing images are interpreted in order to gain spatial information about grassland landscape in the Western of Songnen plain, then spatial-temporal dynamics of grassland and the natural, human factor of grassland degradation are analyzed.

Grassland degradation and livestock rearing in Lesotho
Journal of Southern African Studies, 1995This study is written in the context of marked intervention by external agencies, during the last 20 years. This has taken place within the broad concept of ‘sustainable development’, with the stated desire to ‘develop’ Lesotho's livestock economy, and to conserve the country's grasslands. The paper emphasises the need for social scientific analyses to

Increased contribution of root exudates to soil carbon input during grassland degradation
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2020The contribution of root exudates to soil carbon (C) inputs is poorly quantified, especially for grasslands under the context of degradation that includes simultaneous shifts in species composition due to long-term overgrazing.

A device for mechanical remediation of degraded grasslands
Soil and Tillage Research, 2012Abstract Conventional tillage practices are traditional methods to restore the degraded grasslands. However, the risk of wind and water erosion increases dramatically. To remedy these degraded grasslands and conserve soil and water, a rotary cutting mechanism named soil-gashing and root-cutting device was designed and tested in typical degraded ...
