A framework for regulating the relationship between plant FD and soil carbon sequestration by different types of livestock grazing on different grassland types.

Shiwen Ding et al. found that different #LivestockSpecies changed the relationships between #PlantFunctionalDiversity and #SoilOrganicCarbon in the #MeadowSteppe, illuminated the considerable impact of livestock species on the intricate mechanisms of #SoilCarbonSequestration.
