New research is being carried out to determine how much carbon is being stored in UK grasslands and find out if it could potentially store even more. Grasslands cover a vast area of the UK, forming the backbone of the livestock industry. However, they also play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, storing vast amounts of carbon beneath them in their soils.
