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 …
