Greenhouse gas mitigation potentials in the livestock sector
The livestock sector supports about 1.3 billion producers and retailers, and contributes 40–
50% of agricultural GDP. We estimated that between 1995 and 2005, the livestock sector …

Denitrification and N2O: N2 production in temperate grasslands: Processes, measurements, modelling and mitigating negative impacts
In this review we explore the biotic transformations of nitrogenous compounds that occur
during denitrification, and the factors that influence denitrifier populations and enzyme …

Grassland management and conversion into grassland: effects on soil carbon
Grasslands are heavily relied upon for food and forage production. A key component for
sustaining production in grassland ecosystems is the maintenance of soil organic matter …

Closing the global N2O budget: nitrous oxide emissions through the agricultural nitrogen cycle
In 1995 a working group was assembled at the request of OECD/IPCC/IEA to revise the
methodology for N 2 O from agriculture for the National Greenhouse Gas Inventories …

Climate warming from managed grasslands cancels the cooling effect of carbon sinks in sparsely grazed and natural grasslands
Grasslands absorb and release carbon dioxide (CO2), emit methane (CH4) from grazing
livestock, and emit nitrous oxide (N2O) from soils. Little is known about how the fluxes of …

Manure management: Implications for greenhouse gas emissions
Slurry, farmyard manure and poultry manure are an inevitable consequence of livestock
products generated from housed animals. These manures are recycled back to land for …

Global soil nitrous oxide emissions since the preindustrial era estimated by an ensemble of terrestrial biosphere models: Magnitude, attribution, and uncertainty
Our understanding and quantification of global soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions and the
underlying processes remain largely uncertain. Here, we assessed the effects of multiple …

A global meta‐analysis of grazing impacts on soil health indicators
Grazing lands support the livelihoods of millions of people across nearly one‐half of the
globe. Soils are the backbone of stability and resilience in these systems. To determine …

[HTML][HTML] Critical review of the impacts of grazing intensity on soil organic carbon storage and other soil quality indicators in extensively managed grasslands
Livestock grazing intensity (GI) is thought to have a major impact on soil organic carbon

The challenge of the urine patch for managing nitrogen in grazed pasture systems
DR Selbie, LE Buckthought, MA Shepherd - Advances in agronomy, 2015 - Elsevier
Ruminants excrete as much as 70–95% of the nitrogen (N) they consume. The urine patch is
the conduit through which much of this N is recycled in grazed pasture systems. This chapter …
