Climate change and grazing impact soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, increasing with altitude due to cooler temperatures and higher precipitation. Grazing decreased SOC, while manure and liming partially mitigated losses. Because climate change projected SOC losses, particularly at higher elevations, effective forest management is essential to reduce CO2 emissions.
