The link between soil properties and forest restoration is not well understood in soils with a
high proportion of bare rock outcrops (ROCs). This study compared the concentration of total …

Natural soil and vegetation recovery following human disturbance is the primary means of
restoring degraded ecosystems globally. However, it remains unclear how vegetation …

Abstract Soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are the main soil nutrients
required for plant development and their stoichiometric ratios are important indicators of …

Rock outcrops are frequently visible in terrestrial landscapes, typically in karst. However,
there has been insufficient research conducted on their effects on the formation of soil water …

Abstract Soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are significantly altered by
vegetation succession under execution of ecological restoration projects in China. However …

Rock outcrops (ROCs) are common structures in terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in
regions characterised by karst-type landscapes. However, their effects on adjacent soil and …

Vegetation restoration effectively prevents soil degradation. However, the changes in soil
properties that occur in fragile ecosystems in response to vegetation restoration are unclear …

The distribution of karst landscapes over the Earth's surface, to a large extent, follows the
distribution of carbonate (limestone and dolomite) and gypsum rocks and together these …

Emergent rock outcrops are common in terrestrial ecosystems. However, little research has
been conducted regarding their surface function in redistributing organic carbon and nutrient …

Vegetation restoration on abandoned farmlands is one of the typical methods for
accumulating soil organic carbon (OC) and total nitrogen (TN). However, the coupling of soil …
