“…The only soil property correlated with R. ferrugineum cover was C content. Other studies also reported higher contents of organic C in forest than in grasslands (Guo et al 2007;Guidi et al 2014). As a consequence of reduced soil temperature and moisture following forest succession (Hiltbrunner et al 2013), the decomposition of organic matter is slowed down, leading to a decreased incorporation of C into soil aggregates (Gregorich et al 2006).…”

“…Therefore, only the two ortophotos were analysed quantitatively using Sigmascan Pro v. 5.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL), for estimating the percentage of image pixels referable to shrubs and trees ground cover through analysis water infiltration and soil structural stability (Mamo & Bubenzer 2001;Joseph et al 2003), which regulate soil erosion (Klima 2007). In grassland, Guidi et al (2014) emphasized the importance of the stable storage of carbon. Compared to forests, they found that managed and abandoned grasslands store substantially more C in stable mineral soil aggregates and as much C in total.…”

“…Changes in grasslands can further alter the carbon balance (Guidi et al, 2014), and affect the biodiversity (Gieselman et al, 2013) and food production (O'Mara, 2012). However, due to climate change coupled with negative human interferences (mostly overgrazing and the clearing of grassland for cultivation and urbanization), nearly half of global grasslands have degraded (Gang et al, 2014).…”
