The Hulunber grasslands in Inner Mongolia cover an area of up to 9.97伊10 6 km 2. Within this area, the Hulunber Leymus chinensis meadow steppe is located in the eastern part of the Eurasian continent grassland region. It is a very important example of a temperate grassland ecosystem. Grazing is the most common land use in the Hulunber meadow grasslands, therefore, understanding the changes of soil carbon, soil nitrogen and carbon sequestration under different grazing gradients will provide an important scientific basis for grassland carbon sink management in Inner Mongolia. Six stocking rate treatments (0, 0.23, 0.34, 0. 46, 0.69 and 0.92 Au / hm 2) repeated three times for each treatment, were established, with soil samples collected in early August 2011. The experimental results showed that the grazing gradient has a distinct effect on the change of soil carbon and nitrogen content and soil carbon and nitrogen storage. Soil carbon and
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
