EFFECTS OF HIGH-DENSITY, SHORT-DURATION PLANNED LIVESTOCK GRAZING ON SOIL CARBON SEQUESTRATION POTENTIALS IN A COASTAL CALIFORNIA MIXED GRASSLAND

Planned grazing management in rangelands may improve carbon sequestration potential of soils by increasing plant biomass and the rate of nutrient cycling, which might mitigate global warming. The effects of high-intensity, short-duration planned grazing of sheep on several soil and ecosystem propert...
