| Abstract: | Key findings •• Grazing treatment had no influence on pasture sward composition when averaged over seasons. •• Grazing, rather than the type of grazing management, increased soil carbon under native pastures. •• Soil under cell-grazed pastures had a significantly greater carbon stock to 0.30 m compared with ungrazed pastures (32.9 t C/ha vs 25.6 t C/ha), however, there was no difference between cell and tactically grazed (29.5 t C/ha) pastures. |
