Long-term annual burning of grassland increases CO2 emissions from soils
Grasslands have potential to mitigate against climate change because of their large capacity to store soil organic
carbon (SOC). However, the long-term impact of grassland management such as burning, which is still common
in ...
Tillage impact on soil erosion by water: Discrepancies due to climate and soil characteristics
No-tillage (NT) is promoted for soil and water conservation, but research
findings on overland
flow and
soil erosion are inconsistent across different ecosystems, with some studies showing no benefits of NT
over conventional ...
Potential of grassland rehabilitation through high density-short duration grazing to sequester atmospheric carbon
According to the World Resources Institute (2000), a relative increase of carbon (C) stocks in world soils by 0.4% per year would be
sufficient to compensate all anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Several land management ...
Selective organic carbon losses from soils by sheet erosion and main controls
Although the impact of sheet erosion on the selective transportation of mineral soil particles has beenwidely investigated,
little is yet known about the specific mechanisms of organic carbon (OC) erosion, which constitutes ...
Overgrazing decreases soil organic carbon stocks the most under dry climates and low soil pH: A meta-analysis shows
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 held in the topsoil (0–0.3 m), is
strongly ...
No-tillage lessens soil CO2 emissions the most under arid and sandy soil conditions: results from a meta-analysis
The management of agroecosystems plays a crucial
role in the global carbon cycle with soil tillage leading
to known organic carbon redistributions within soils and
changes in soil CO2 emissions. Yet, discrepancies exist ...
