Degraded farmlands have been abandoned worldwide, especially in high-and middle-
income countries. These lands help combat climate change as they undergo natural …

Bioenergy from perennial grasses mitigates climate change via displacing fossil fuels and
storing atmospheric CO 2 belowground as soil carbon. Here, we conduct a critical review to …

Background Rehabilitation of degraded rangelands through the establishment of enclosures
(fencing grazing lands) is believed to improve soil quality and livelihoods, and enhance the …

Grassland soils have been highlighted as a global soil carbon (C) sink, and have the
potential to sequester additional C. Sequestration of C can occur through incorporation of …

Soil is the foundational brown infrastructure of urbanized landscapes that supports diverse
social-ecological goals. However, many aspects of urbanization degrade soils in ways that …

Highlights Three methods were used to measure soil aggregate stability in the calcareous
silty loam soils of Idaho's Magic Valley No treatment differences were found using traditional …

Construction in urban areas usually results in compacted soil, which restricts plant growth
and infiltration. Nutrients may be lost in storm runoff water and sediment. The purpose of this …

One climate-change mitigation pathway is soil carbon (C) sequestration, which removes
carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores C in various forms in the soil. Native prairie …

The evaluation of prairie restorations tends to focus on aboveground properties such as
changes in plant diversity and the encroachment of non-native species. As a result …
