The Potential of U.S. Grazing Lands to Sequester Carbon and Mitigate the Greenhouse Effect

This book describes grazing lands, the areas they occupy, and their important role in sequestering C to help mitigate the greenhouse effect. Table 16.1 shows that rangelands in the US can sequester between 17.5 and 90.5 million metric tons of carbon per year through soil enhancement measures including improved grazing and conversion of crops to pasture.
