Impact of livestock grazing management on carbon stocks: a case study in sparse elm woodlands of semi-arid lands [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Livestock grazing is a widespread practice in human activities worldwide. However, the effects of livestock grazing management on vegetation carbon storage have not been thoroughly evaluated. In this study, we used the system dynamic approach to simulate

Grazing Management, Forage Production and Soil Carbon Dynamics [PDF]
Resources, 2020 Soil carbon pools remain a target for sequestering greenhouse gases, but appropriate land management options to achieve such sequestration remain uncertain. Livestock grazing can have profound positive or negative effects on soil carbon. Different models
