Long-Term Grazing Mediates Soil Organic Carbon Dynamics by Reorienting Enzyme Activities and Elemental Stoichiometry in Semi-arid Tropical Inceptisol

Avijit Ghosh et al.

Summary: Long-term grazing by small ruminants has significant impacts on grass and plant covers, soil enzyme activity, and nutrient cycling. Grazing reduces soil organic carbon and nutrient concentration, but low stocking rate can sustain nutrient cycling and productivity, making it suitable for semi-arid tropical regions.

Coupling and decoupling of soil carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus stocks following grazing exclusion in temperate grasslands

Jiwei Li et al.

Summary: This study examined the effects of long-term grazing exclusion on soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), and total phosphorus (TP) stocks in temperate grasslands on the Loess Plateau, China. The results showed that grazing exclusion significantly increased SOC and TN stocks but declined TP stocks. Furthermore, the study found that grazing exclusion was more beneficial for SOC and TN accumulations than for TP accretion, and SOC and TN stocks were not related to TP stock.

Effect of grazing exclusion and rotational grazing on labile soil organic carbon in north China

Lei Dong et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of long-term grazing exclusion and short-term rotational grazing with different grazing intensities on labile soil organic carbon. The results showed that grazing exclusion significantly increased labile SOC stocks and potential N-min rate, while rotational grazing increased HWEC but had no significant effects on POC and potential N-min rate. Rotational grazing may be a viable alternative to exclusion, offering a more rational use of grassland without causing soil C loss.

The variation in soil water retention of alpine shrub meadow under different degrees of degradation on northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan plateau

Licong Dai et al.

Summary: The study found that the higher the degradation degree of alpine shrub meadows, the higher the sand content and the lower the clay content in the soil. In areas with higher degrees of degradation, the organic matter content in the soil increased, soil bulk density decreased, leading to an increase in soil water retention capacity.

Effect of grazing exclusion on soil and vegetation characteristics in desert steppe rangelands: a case study from north-western Iran

Ardavan Ghorbani et al.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of grazing exclusion on soil and vegetation characteristics in the Arshagh ecoregion. The results showed that after 20 years of grazing exclusion, there were significant improvements in vegetation diversity, cover, and soil properties. The findings suggest that livestock exclusion can play a crucial role in restoring degraded rangeland ecosystems.

Grazing intensity changed the activities of nitrogen assimilation related enzymes in desert Steppe Plants

Aimin Zhu et al.

Summary: Grazing disturbance affects the activities of nitrogen assimilation related enzymes in grassland plants, with light and moderate grazing being beneficial for nitrogen assimilation. Therefore, establishing appropriate stocking rates is crucial for material flows in the grassland ecosystem and for the stability and sustainable utilization of grassland resources.

Effects of grazing and mowing on vertical distribution of soil nutrients and their stoichiometry (C: N: P) in a semi-arid grassland of North China

Lingling Chen et al.

Summary: The study found that grazing and mowing can impact soil organic carbon and total nitrogen stocks, while having minimal effects on total phosphorus concentrations and stocks in grassland soil. Changes in plant community composition and resource allocation play key roles in regulating soil nutrient stocks and stoichiometry in different soil layers.

Long-term grazing exclusion greatly improve carbon and nitrogen store in an alpine meadow on the northern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Licong Dai et al.

Summary: This study examined the effects of long-term grazing management on plant and soil properties in alpine meadows. Results showed that grazing exclusion significantly increased aboveground vegetation biomass and improved soil conditions, such as soil carbon and nitrogen content. Long-term grazing exclusions can lead to positive changes in plant community structure and soil properties.

Short-term grazing exclusions reduced soil organic carbon but not bacterial diversity in the sagebrush desert, Northwest China

Yuxuan Cui et al.

Summary: The short-term grazing exclusions (GEs) reduced the soil organic carbon (SOC) content and stock in the 0-10 cm layer in the sagebrush desert, with significant variations at different sites. However, the GEs had limited impact on soil bacterial diversity, showing certain regional differences.

Root, not aboveground litter, controls soil carbon storage under grazing exclusion across grasslands worldwide

Jishuai Su et al.

Summary: Grazing exclusion is an effective management strategy for improving grasslands degraded by overgrazing, as it enhances plant production and soil carbon storage globally. The effects of grazing exclusion on litter production and soil carbon storage are influenced by herbivore body size, climate conditions, and duration of exclusion. The increase in aboveground litter biomass induced by grazing exclusion is mainly attributed to the increase in graminoid biomass, and the enhancement of soil carbon storage is possibly due to the response of root biomass along a precipitation gradient.

Management intensive grazing on New England dairy farms enhances soil nitrogen stocks and elevates soil nitrous oxide emissions without increasing soil carbon

Alexandra R. Contosta et al.

Summary: The study showed that management intensive grazing (MIG) in cool-season, organic pastures of the northeastern United States can increase soil carbon concentrations but may lead to higher nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions. Additionally, there were divergent responses in soil nitrogen to MIG, and overall climate forcing values and effects varied among farms.

Adaptive multi-paddock grazing enhances soil carbon and nitrogen stocks and stabilization through mineral association in southeastern US grazing lands

Samantha Mosier et al.

Summary: Research shows that adaptive multipaddock (AMP) grazing can increase soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks in grassland ecosystems, particularly in the mineral-associated organic matter fraction. AMP grazing helps sequester C in the soil and improve N retention in the system.
