Faster accumulation and greater contribution of glomalin to the soil organic carbon pool than amino sugars do under tropical coastal forest restoration

Tengteng Li et al.

Summary: Microbial metabolic products are important for maintaining ecosystem multifunctionality, and afforestation can enhance soil quality and carbon sequestration. Our study found that the concentrations of amino sugars and GRSP increased during the restoration process, but their contributions to the SOC pool decreased. Moreover, the contribution of GRSP was consistently higher than that of amino sugars.

Effects of long-term grazing exclusion on plant and soil properties vary with position in dune systems in the Horqin Sandy Land

Renhui Miao et al.

Summary: Grazing exclusion is an important policy in China for recovering degraded grasslands, but its effects on sand dune ecosystems vary by topographic location. Long-term grazing exclusion leads to increased plant density, cover, species richness, soil organic carbon, and total nitrogen across different areas in sand dune systems.

Large herbivores facilitate a dominant grassland forb via multiple indirect effects

Zhiwei Zhong et al.

Summary: Large herbivores have both direct and indirect effects on plants, influencing their growth and abundance through consumption and altered interactions with other species. Grazing by cattle in a temperate grassland led to a significant increase in the aboveground biomass of Artemisia scoparia due to multiple indirect positive effects that outweighed the direct negative effects of consumption. These effects were mediated by cattle preference for a competing grass species and alterations in plant microhabitats and ant species abundance.

Mutual feedback between above- and below-ground controls the restoration of alpine ecosystem multifunctionality in long-term grazing exclusion

Miao Liu et al.

Summary: This study investigated the interaction between above- and below-ground functioning in the restoration of ecosystem multifunctionality through long-term grazing exclusion experiments. The results showed that both above- and below-ground functioning increased over restoration time, with the response of belowground functioning lagging behind. In addition, the feedback of aboveground functioning on belowground functioning shifted from negative to positive during the restoration process. These findings are valuable for improving grassland policies and management on the Tibetan Plateau.

Can large herbivores enhance ecosystem carbon persistence?

Jeppe A. Kristensen et al.

Summary: There is a growing interest in aligning the wildlife conservation and restoration agenda with climate change mitigation goals. However, the presence of large herbivores may negatively impact ecosystem carbon storage in some open-canopy ecosystems by reducing aboveground biomass. Despite the recognition of soils as the largest actively-cycling terrestrial carbon pool, belowground carbon storage is often overlooked in these systems. Therefore, there is a need to shift the focus from vegetation carbon stocks to overall ecosystem carbon persistence in assessing the long-term carbon storage effects of large herbivores.

Effects of grazing exclusion on soil infiltrability and preferential flow in savannah livestock grazing systems

Chunfeng Chen et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of exclosure management on hydrological functions and services in a savanna ecosystem in southwest China. The results showed that exclosures significantly improved soil physical properties, water infiltration, and preferential water flow. The study also found that the restoration and niche differentiation of herb and woody plants in exclosures played important roles in improving water availability and management in savanna systems.

Grassland soil carbon sequestration: Current understanding, challenges, and solutions

Yongfei Bai et al.

Summary: Grasslands act as important soil carbon sinks, storing about one third of global terrestrial carbon stocks. Plant diversity increases soil organic carbon storage by enhancing carbon inputs and promoting microbial contributions. Improved grazing management and biodiversity restoration provide cost-effective solutions for climate change mitigation in grasslands.

Nitrogen loading enhances phosphorus limitation in terrestrial ecosystems with implications for soil carbon cycling

Min Luo et al.

Summary: Increased human-derived nitrogen loading in terrestrial ecosystems has led to widespread phosphorus limitation. Plants and soil micro-organisms adopt phosphorus-acquisition strategies to offset this limitation, but these strategies come at a cost to carbon allocation. The effects of these strategies on soil carbon cycling are still unclear.

Shifts in plant composition mediate grazing effects on carbon cycling in grasslands

Maowei Liang et al.

Summary: Livestock grazing can directly influence plant community composition and vegetation carbon levels, ultimately impacting carbon cycling in grasslands. Grazing effects on below-ground carbon are mediated by interactions between soil profile and year-to-year variation. Additionally, shifts in plant community composition play a crucial role in regulating grassland carbon cycling.

Grazing exclusion alters ecological stoichiometry of plant and soil in degraded alpine grassland

Chenjun Du et al.

Summary: Grazing exclusion is an effective practice for recovering degraded alpine grasslands in the Tibetan Plateau, leading to changes in plant biomass and ecological stoichiometry. Under grazing exclusion, there is an increase in plant C content, as well as soil C, N, and P concentrations, with soil N mainly derived from plant production.

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.

Florent Noulekoun et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the potential of grazing exclosures to restore soil organic carbon stocks and sequestration rates in degraded communal grazing lands in the Tigray region of Ethiopia. The results showed a positive restoration effect of exclosures on SOC storage, with rates higher than the 4% target. Increasing exclosure age was associated with higher SOC stock and sequestration rates in exclosures.

Combatting global grassland degradation

Richard D. Bardgett et al.

Summary: Grasslands provide crucial ecosystem services, but are often overlooked in sustainable policy. Degradation of grasslands threatens biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human well-being. Strategies to combat degradation and promote restoration include increasing global recognition of grasslands, developing standardized indicators, using scientific innovation for effective restoration, and enhancing knowledge transfer and data sharing. These actions can help halt degradation, enhance restoration success, and protect the socio-economic, cultural, and ecological benefits that grasslands provide.
