Reviving Inner Mongolia's Grasslands: A Carbon Sink Solution Unveiled
Grasslands in Inner Mongolia, China play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle. Overgrazing and improper cultivation have led to grassland degradation and a decrease in carbon storage. By using effective management practices, degraded grasslands can be restored, increasing the carbon pool and economic benefits. The study analyzed grassland degradation in Inner Mongolia and evaluated the carbon sink potential of degraded areas. Different management practices were tested in three sites to determine the most suitable for each vegetation type. The findings suggest that with proper management, degraded grasslands can be restored, enhancing carbon storage and economic value.
