OVERGRAZING DEPRESSES SOIL CARBON STOCK THROUGH CHANGING PLANT DIVERSITY IN TEMPERATE GRASSLAND OF THE LOESS PLATEAU

Overgrazing depresses soil carbon stock through changing plant diversity in temperate grassland of the Loess Plateau

This study mainly estimates the effect of grazing on plant diversity and soil storages on the northern Loess Plateau of China.Four grazing intensities of ungrazed (UG), light (LG), moderate (MG), and heavy (HG) grassland here were selected according to the vegetation utilization across the study area, in which plant diversity, heights, above- and b
