Effects of climate and grazing on the soil organic carbon dynamics of the grasslands in Northern Xinjiang during the past twenty years
The soil organic carbon (SOC) of grasslands is a vital component of the global carbon cycle. The SOC in grassland ecosystems in arid and semi-arid regions is sensitive to global climate change, but the dynamic drivers of the SOC content are still controversial. Grazing is the main factor affecting S...
