So in a forest, even soil from open gaps shows the C3 signature because of non-woody C3 plants growing there, while on a savanna, soil from under a C3 tree will show the C4 signature because of ...

When properly managed, savannas like the Serengeti are capable of capturing at least as much carbon as tropical rainforests.

However, the role of forests in storing carbon has long been emphasized over the role of savannas (and savanna soils) by international climate negotiators, resulting in policies such as REDD+ for ...

Using the case study conducted in Kruger National Park, South Africa, and data synthesized from tropical savannas worldwide, the research team demonstrated that savanna soils enriched with carbon ...

Amongst the various factors playing a role in the soil characteristics of the area ... In conclusion, the authors suggest that the most restrictive savanna habitats - the wet grasslands, represent ...

but the root and soil carbon stores are largely maintained. Forest biomes are better studied, but estimates from these regions cannot be extrapolated wholesale to savanna land. As part of their ...

More than 70 percent of the sites were revealed to be savanna-like environments with less than 40 percent tree cover. Less than 1 percent of the ancient soil tested reflected sites where tree ...

the effects of these changes in the Chetumal savanna soil are expected to become more evident. Local communities and environmental experts emphasize the urgent need to tackle these issues ...
