Soil organic carbon stocks and belowground biomass in patches in heterogeneous grassland
Are patches in low‐input grassland important for the storage of soil organic carbon and belowground biomass? Abstract Background Selective grazing creates stable patches of contrasting sward height, thereby providing different growth conditions for the grass sward above and below ground and potentially affecting soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks.
