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 …

Abstract From 2004 to 2010, the Sino-German research group MAGIM (Matter fluxes of
Grasslands in Inner Mongolia as affected by grazing) ran a grazing experiment in a typical …

Microbes play key roles in various biogeochemical processes, including carbon (C) and
nitrogen (N) cycling. However, changes of microbial community at the functional gene level …

Accurate prediction of digital soil maps allows for the evaluation of larger areas with respect
to the design of efficient land management plans at the regional scale. Nowadays, there is …

Soil microorganisms regulate carbon (C) transfer from terrestrial sources to the atmosphere,
therefore playing a pivotal role in soil C dynamics. Worldwide, grazing is one of the most …

Nearly 90% of the 390 million ha of grasslands in northern China are degraded.'Grazing
exclusion'has been implemented as a nature‐based solution to rejuvenate degraded …

Increasing grazing pressure and climate change affect nitrogen (N) dynamics of grassland
ecosystems in the Eurasian steppe belt with unclear consequences for future delivery of …

Overgrazing has resulted in widespread decline in biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in
grasslands world‐wide in recent decades. However, few studies have examined the …

Livestock grazing can alter biodiversity and ecosystem functions. However, how long-term
and continuous grazing intensity affect belowground biodiversity remains unclear, especially …

Semi-natural grasslands represent a vital source of forage and fodder for livestock farming,
fulfilling an essential ecological function. This study upholded the efficacy of Sentinel-2 time …
