Abstract: Grassland soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important part of global carbon cycle, and its storage is closely related to the concentration of atmosphere carbon dioxide (CO2) content. The author reviewed the research progress of influencing factors of grassland soil organic carbon storage in recent years, including climate conditions, grassland soil physical and chemical properties and human management practices. The author also emphasized the research importance of influencing factors of grassland soil organic carbon storage and the results could provide reference to increase grassland soil organic carbon storage to cope with the global climate change.
