Can grazing management increase soil carbon?
This video describes findings from an extensive literature review on the impacts of grazing and farm management on soil carbon. The webinar includes:
- Plausible pathways towards net zero emissions through grazing management
- Effects of grazing intensity (stocking rate) and frequency (spelling or rest periods) on soil carbon (most studies reviewed did not find an effect of these factors on soil carbon)
- Impacts of grazing on plant growth, ground cover, herbage mass, plant persistence
- Practices that may improve soil carbon in principle (reduced erosion, degradation, improve legume content, alter botanical composition, improve water infiltration and growth, changing from annual cropping to pastures)
- Typical gains in soil carbon that may be expected with the practice changes or crop functional groups
- The review is available here: https://www.researchgate.net/publicat…
- Long-term effects of farm management, climate, soil type and interactions therein are documented here: https://www.researchgate.net/publicat…
