Abstract

Here, we discuss the current and emerging themes in soil processes related to grassland nutrient cycling. Soil processes involve four major components, namely addition, loss, translocation, and transformation of nutrients. The ability of grasslands to provide ecosystem services such as fodder for livestock and carbon storage is intimately linked to how nutrients cycle through the soil and between the greater global stocks of nutrients. We discuss macro- and micronutrients and conclude by identifying future avenues of research that require attention.
