DESCRIPTION:Natural ecosystems provide vital functions for the sustainable 
 economic development of rural societies. In many regions of the world\, pa
 rticularly in developing countries\, such landscapes are undergoing extens
 ive degradation with severe implications for soil health and its capacity 
 to provide essential services. Concerns about the long-term sustainability
  of soil resources support the need for a deep understanding of the proces
 ses and consequences of land degradation. A large proportion of South Afri
 can smallholder farming lands are highly degraded and exhibit a variety of
  constraints\, including nutrient deficiency\, low soil organic matter and
  high risk of erosion. Poor and inappropriate management has exacerbated t
 hese problems. Therefore\, this work attempted to search for sustainable l
 and management practices to improve soil health and increase yields for sm
 allholder farmers in the region. In this talk\, I will highlight the sever
 ity of soil erosion and how this affects soil C fluxes in degraded grassla
 nds. Furthermore\, an evaluation of short- and long-term grassland managem
 ent practices (i.e.\, grazing\, burning and mowing) and cropland managemen
 t\, e.g.\, tillage and residue management under continuous maize cultivati
 on\, will be presented. Finally\, potential cost-effective management prac
 tices for better ecosystem functioning will be proposed.
