Grassland management impacts on soil carbon stocks: a new synthesis
Grassland ecosystems cover a large portion of Earths' surface and contain substantial
amounts of soil organic carbon. Previous work has established that these soil carbon stocks …

Grasslands—more important for ecosystem services than you might think
Extensively managed grasslands are recognized globally for their high biodiversity and their
social and cultural values. However, their capacity to deliver multiple ecosystem services …

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 …
