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 …

Livestock grazing activities potentially alter ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycles in
grassland ecosystems. Despite the fact that numerous individual studies and a few meta …

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 …

Spatial prediction of soil organic matter is a global challenge and of particular importance for
regions with intensive land use and where availability of soil data is limited. This study …

Managing multiple ecosystem services (ESs) to facilitate synergy benefits is a crucial but
challenging task for sustainable development, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. In …

Grasslands are a major biome on Earth, and their soils play a dominant role in the overall
ecosystem functions and dynamics. Though the majority of global grasslands are used for …

Grasslands occupy about 40% of the world's land surface and store approximately 10% of
the global soil organic carbon (SOC) stock. This SOC pool, in which a larger proportion is …

The major aims of this study were, firstly, to analyse the grazing-induced steppe degradation
process and, secondly, to identify an efficient and sustainable grazing management system …

Grasslands store about 34% of the global terrestrial carbon (C) and are vital for the provision
of various ecosystem services such as forage and climate regulation. About 89% of this …
