ABSTRACT The impact of livestock grazing on soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in the Sahel has been poorly documented due to a lack data from different intensities. This study evaluated SOC under four intensities within 0–30 cm depth dry savanna ecosystems Senegal. It also examined possible indirect relationships between and through herbaceous species diversity, biomass, carbon–nitrogen ratio. Four sites representing high, moderate, light, no intensity levels were selected. Transect survey methods used for sampling vegetation each sites. Data analyzed using mixed‐effects models piecewise structural equation modeling (pSEM). significantly among intensities, higher observed with increased intensity. Furthermore, high‐intensity was shown reduce ratio by negatively affecting diversity species, which indirectly promoted stocks. In conclusion, this found that both directly diversity.

Munoz et al. (2024) raised concerns regarding our recent contribution and the definition of term C sequestration in soils (Don al., 2024). We performed a review therefore based analysis on existing definitions sequestrations, mainly by IPCC. recommend sticking with terminologies around climate mitigation, as outlined review, order to keep it consistent manageable.

ABSTRACT Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks by improving cropland management practices has great potential to mitigate climate change. Long‐term field experiments (LTEs) are valuable study effects on properties and crop yield. Yet most LTE studies limited the topsoil, farming systems integrating multiple strategies often not assessed. This used three Swedish LTEs assess of rotations fertilisation SOC changes. One arable rotation with only annual crops a ley annuals, perennial receiving manure were investigated at different application rates mineral fertilisers. We analysed changes in content distribution depths, calculated C inputs phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs) evaluate how affected relation microbial communities. Both lost 0–20 cm topsoil from 1966 2019 across sites, but sandy site more than clayey sites. The nitrogen (N) reduced losses.
