	abstract = {This paper reviews spatial and temporal dynamics of carbon storage related to Holocene climatic change and recent shrub invasion (due to desertification) in the Jornada Basin, New Mexico (USA).  It evaluates the role of regional climate history, vegetation distribution, and soil characteristics as controls on carbon cycling in this system.  Ecosystem-level changes in above- and below-ground carbon pools in grassland and desertified shrub communities are compared to quantify changes in the net carbon balance associated with desertification.  An assessment is made, in the context of the Jornada desertification model, of the potential opportunities to sequester carbon in drylands and to identify current research needs.},
