Large herbivore functional guilds and soil carbon storage in a semi-arid southern African landscape

2025-03-20

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Soils store approximately 75% of the global terrestrial carbon pool and can sequester varying levels of organic carbon depending on wildlife, livestock, and human activity on the landscape.<italic><bold> </bold></italic>Large-bodied herbivores (LH) are hypothesized to influence soil carbon dynamics through a variety of biogeochemical processes that vary in the direction and magnitude of...
