Advancing the spring rest-grazing time until the critical period when soil thaws promotes soil recovery and bacterial diversity in alpine meadows

Ecological Indicators, 2022
The management strategy of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP) alpine meadows is “conservation + use”. Scientific management of grazing and sustainable use of alpine meadows is essential for maintaining the ecological health of the region.

Differentiating biological and chemical factors of top and deep soil carbon sequestration in semi-arid tropical Inceptisol: an outcome of structural equation modeling

Carbon Management, 2020
Though soils sequester large amounts of carbon (C), variations in physical and chemical characteristics of top and deep layers necessitate the study of factors governing topsoil and deep soil C sequestration to predict land-use changes to alleviate ...

An Overview of Permanent Grassland Grazing Management Practices and the Impacts on Principal Soil Quality Indicators

Agronomy, 2023
Grasslands are at risk of degradation due to unsustainable management practices and climate change. Here, we review the principal soil quality indicators (SQIs) to evaluate the sustainability of different grassland management practices globally.
