Effects of grazing exclusion on carbon sequestration in China's grassland

Globally, grazing exclusion (GE) is an effective management practice to restore degraded grasslands and improve carbon (C) stock. However, the C dynamics in grasslands ecosystem with GE have not been well characterized. The results of 145 sites published in 118 recent literatures were synthesized to examine the dynamics of plant and soil C sequestrations in grassland ecosystem after GE, and with the recovery age > 27 years under the China's...
