Using Time-series Airborne Multispectral Imagery to Characterize Grassland Cover and Land Management Practices Influencing Soil Carbon Stocks
Land use practices greatly influence soil carbon stocks, which in turn influences the potential for soils to store carbon. With a growing interest in the use of a carbon credit system to decrease atmospheric carbon dioxide, there is increasing interest in development of cost effective methods for identifying land cover types and land use practices that maximize carbon storage potential. This st...
متن کاملCombining livestock production information in a process-based vegetation model to reconstruct the history of grassland management
Grassland management type (grazed or mown) and intensity (intensive or extensive) play a crucial role in the greenhouse gas balance and surface energy budget of this biome, both at field scale and at large spatial scale. However, global gridded historical information on grassland management intensity is not available. Combining modelled grass-biomass productivity with statistics of the grassbio...
متن کاملMitigating the greenhouse gas balance of ruminant production systems through carbon sequestration in grasslands.
Soil carbon sequestration (enhanced sinks) is the mechanism responsible for most of the greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation potential in the agriculture sector. Carbon sequestration in grasslands can be determined directly by measuring changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and indirectly by measuring the net balance of C fluxes. A literature search shows that grassland C sequestration reaches...
متن کاملEcosystem Carbon and Nitrogen Accumulation after Grazing Exclusion in Semiarid Grassland
The grazing exclusion in degraded grassland has been extensively used to prevent the loss of grassland resources and to improve grassland services. The effects of grazing exclusion on C and N balance, however, have not been well addressed but are essential for assessing grassland C sinks, the sustainable use of grassland resources and the support of grassland services. To understand the respons...
متن کاملStable carbon isotope as a signal index for monitoring grassland degradation
Grassland degradation due to overgrazing is common in many areas of the world. This study analyzed the potential of the stable carbon isotope (δ(13)C) value as a structural microcosmic index to monitor processes of grassland degradation. The δ(13)C values of plant leaves, roots and soils in non-grazed (NG) and over-grazed (OG) grassland were measured from samples collected from the seven types ...
