Soil Organic Carbon Depletion from Forests to Grasslands Conversion in Mexico: A Review

Soil Organic Carbon Depletion from Forests to Grasslands Conversion in Mexico: A Review

Land use change from forests to grazing lands is one of the important sources of greenhouse gas emissions in many parts of the tropics. The objective of this study was to analyze the extent of soil organic carbon (SOC) loss from the conversion of native forests to pasturelands in Mexico. We analyzed...
