Agriculture is a source for three primary greenhouse gases (GHGs): CO2, CH4, and N2O. It
can also be a sink for CO2 through C sequestration into biomass products and soil organic …

The effects of grazing on grassland ecosystems must be understood to develop effective soil
conservation measures and sustain livestock production. The objective of this research was …

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 …

Simulation models are extensively used to predict agricultural productivity and greenhouse
gas emissions. However, the uncertainties of (reduced) model ensemble simulations have …

Grazing land ecosystem services including food provision and climate regulation are greatly
influenced by soil health. This paper provides a condensed review of studies on the …

Grasslands cover about 40% of China's land area. This paper synthesizes 133 papers from
China on the impacts of land use conversion and improved management practices on soil …

Grazing intensity and grassland degradation in China has increased with a growing
livestock population. The Desert Steppe is vulnerable to the impacts of livestock because of …

In this study, characteristics of vegetation and soil properties under continued grazing and
exclusion of livestock for 6 and 12 years were examined in a degraded Stipa tenacissima …

Benefits of carbon sequestration in agricultural soils are well recognized, and process-
based models have been developed to better understand sequestration potential. However …

The role of grassland ecosystems as net sinks or sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs) is
limited by a paucity of information regarding management impacts on the flux of nitrous …
