Carbon cycling and sequestration opportunities in temperate grasslands
Abstract
Abstract. Temperate grasslands account for c. 20% of the land area in Europe. Carbon accumulation in grassland ecosystems occurs mostly below ground and changes in soil organic carbon stocks may result from land use changes (e.g. conversion of arable land to grassland) and grassland management. Grasslands also contribute to the biosphere–atmosphere exchange of non‐CO 2 radiatively active trace gases, with fluxes intimately linked to management practices. In this article, we discuss the current knowledge on carbon cycling and carbon sequestration opportunities in temperate grasslands. First, from a simple two‐parameter exponential model fitted to literature data, we assess soil organic carbon fluxes resulting from land use change (e.g. between arable and grassland) and from grassland management. Second, we discuss carbon fluxes within the context of farming systems, including crop–grass rotations and farm manure applications. Third, using a grassland ecosystem model (PaSim), we provide estimates of the greenhouse gas balance, in CO 2 equivalents, of pastures for a range of stocking rates and of N fertilizer applications. Finally, we consider carbon sequestration opportunities for France resulting from the restoration of grasslands and from the de‐intensification of intensive livestock breeding systems. We emphasize major uncertainties concerning the magnitude and non‐linearity of soil carbon stock changes in agricultural grasslands as well as the emissions of N 2 O from soil and of CH 4 from grazing livestock.

Management of grasslands, including fertiliser application, type and intensity of grazing, and rotation length, greatly affects the overall greenhouse gas balance, especially N2O and CH4 emissions.
“In particular the effect of management of these grassland, including fertiliser application, type and intensity of grazing and rotation length, greatly affecting the overall GHG balance, especially with regard to N 2 O and CH 4 emissions which are more radiatively active than CO 2 [85].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
