Influence of Initial Soil Organic Carbon in Grassland on the Sensitivity of Carbon Changes to Climate After Grassland‐to‐Cropland Conversion by Pengpeng Dou, Jie Wang, Tianyu Cai, Zhengzhou Miao, Xu Wang, Junyi Liang, Ping Li, Jiangwen Fan, Shiming Tang, Xiangming Xiao, Lizhu Guo, Jing Huang, Qian Gao, Chao Chen, Kesi Liu, Kun Wang

“…As grassland soil organic carbon increased, the sensitivity of soil organic carbon changes to climate change following grassland‐to‐cropland conversion decreased, while the positive effects of changes in water flux and the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) strengthened. The most important factor influencing the change in SOC after grassland reclamation was the change in NDVI in low and medium SOC grasslands and the change in vegetation transpiration in high‐SOC grasslands. …”
