Does Grazing Exclusion Improve Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Stocks in Alpine Grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau? A Meta-Analysis

Grazing exclusion has been widely used to restore the degraded alpine grasslands on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). However, the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil total nitrogen (STN) pools after grazing exclusion and their controlling factors are currently less understood in this re...
