Soil greenhouse gas emissions and grazing management in northern temperate grasslands.

Adaptive multi-paddock (AMP) grazing, a grazing system in which individual paddocks are grazed for a short duration at a high stock density and followed by a long rest period, is claimed to be an effective tool to sustainably manage and improve grasslands and enhance their ecosystem services. However, whether AMP grazing is superior to conventional grazing (n-AMP) in reducing soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is unclear. Here, we measured CO, CH, and NO fluxes between August 2017 and August 2019 in 12 pairs of AMP vs.
