Livestock herbivores impact soil microbial fauna by reducing carbon uptake capacity, an Indian research says. Antibiotics’ effect on soil is crucial<\/h2>\n

Not all herbivores<\/strong> are created equal, especially when it comes to their impact on soil and climate. That’s the message of a research<\/a> conducted by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore and published in the journal Global Change Biology. According to the survey, quoted<\/a> by the U.S.-based NGO Mongabay, wild animals would have less noticeable effects on soil than livestock<\/strong> counterparts.<\/p>\n

The finding takes on considerable importance, says Mongabay. Indeed, these animals “strongly influence the climate via their impacts on a large soil carbon stocks<\/strong>, with the world\u2019s grasslands, steppes, and savannas storing an estimated 500 Petagrams (Pg) of carbon”.<\/p>\n
