The aim of this paper is to provide a new synthesis focused on grassland ecosystems and soil carbon stock sensitivity to management and land use changes: grazing, species composition, and mineral nutrient availability. The synthesis confirms earlier conclusions that improved grazing management, fertilization, sowing legumes and improved grass species, irrigation, and conversion from cultivation all tend to lead to increased soil carbon.
