Impact of Livestock Grazing on Carbon and Nitrogen Balance of a Short-grass Steppe
Entry ID:
USDA.ARS.CGPRS.SGSgraze
Summary
Abstract:
(adapted from project abstract)
Problem: Grazing lands constitute about 55% ofthe total land surface of the United States, and have been estimated to contain 40,000 MMT of C in the top 2 m of the soil profile. An increase of only 0.5% in the organic C in the top 10 cm of grazing land soils is equivalent to the C emissions from all US cropland agriculture (R.F. Follett, personal communication). ...
