Soils of grasslands represent a large potential reservoir for storing CO 2, but this potential
likely depends on how grasslands are managed for large mammal grazing. Previous studies …

Livestock grazing intensity (GI) is thought to have a major impact on soil organic carbon
(SOC) storage and soil quality indicators in grassland agroecosystems. To critically …

Aboveground-Belowground Linkages provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive
synthesis of recent advances in our understanding of the roles that interactions between …

The Eurasian steppe has long been subject to grazing by domestic ungulates at high levels,
resulting in widespread deterioration of biodiversity and ecosystem services. While …

Globally, grazing exclusion (GE) is an effective management practice to restore degraded
grasslands and improve carbon (C) stock. However, the C dynamics in grasslands …

Grazing is one of the most widespread forms of intensive management on Earth and is
linked to reductions in soil health. However, little is known about the relative influence of …

Background Grazing has important influences on the structures and functions of grassland
ecosystems, but the effects of grazing patterns on grassland biomass and soil environments …

Grazing by livestock greatly affects the soil carbon (C) cycle in grassland ecosystems.
However, the effects of grazing at different intensities and durations on the dynamics of soil …

Climate warming is likely to accelerate the decomposition of soil organic carbon (SOC)
which may lead to an increase of carbon release from soils, and thus provide a positive …

The development of isotopic baselines for comparison with paleodietary data is crucial, but
often overlooked. We review the factors affecting the carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) …
