“…In the eroded area, soil carbon stock could be increased due to soil erosion mitigation (Lal, 2002), an increase in organic matter inputs (Smith, 2008), a decrease in organic matter weathering, or microbial breakdown (Lal, 2005) during the vegetation restoration process. In this study, a higher soil carbon stock was found in the forest ecosystem than the grassland ecosystem on a slope scale although the difference was not statistically significant for the slope as a whole.…”

“…In terms of soil, the type of soil is closely associated with the amount of carbon it contains and there is a huge variability across the UK with Scotland holding around a half of the organic carbon content of soils in Great Britain (Bradley et al, 2005). Recent research has shown that there is little change in soil carbon under permanent pasture (Hopkins et al, 2008), with the major changes being related to changes in land use (Smith, 2008). Soil monitoring networks exist across Europe, but they are unable to detect changes at a level of use to policy-makers (Saby et al, 2008).…”

“…Excluding carbonated rocks, soils constitute the largest surface carbon pool, approximately 1500 Gt, equivalent to almost twice that in the terrestrial biomass and three times that in the atmosphere (IPCC, 2000). Globally, soil cultivation has resulted in the loss of more than 40 Pg C, at a rate of about 1.6 Pg C yr −1 , to the atmosphere during the 1990s (Smith, 2008). Chinese agricultural soils have also lost 30-50 % or more of the soil carbon pool (Lal, 2004a).…”
