Grazing depresses soil carbon storage through changing plant biomass and composition in a Tibetan alpine meadow

Grazing depresses soil carbon storage through changing plant biomass and composition in a Tibetan alpine meadow

Grazing-induced variations in vegetation may either accelerate or reduce soil carbon storage through changes in litter quantity and quality. Here, a three-year field study (2005-2007) was conducted in Tibetan alpine meadow to address the responses of surface soil (0-15 cm) organic carbon (SOC) stora...
