Forest swamp ecosystems plays crucial role in the global carbon cycle. However, the effects
of forest swamp succession on soil organic matter (SOM) and microbial community structure …

Soil microbial resource-acquisition strategies play a crucial role in soil nutrient cycling and
the accumulation of soil organic carbon (SOC) in vegetation restoration. Despite the growing …

Heavy metal (HM) enrichment is closely related to soil organic carbon (SOC) pools in
terrestrial ecosystems, which are deeply intertwined with soil microbial processes. However …

Land abandonment is considered an effective strategy for ecological restoration on a global
scale. However, few studies have focused on how environmental heterogeneity associated …

Purpose Geogenic enrichment of cadmium (Cd) poses a grave threat to food security.
Specifically, soils derived from limestone often suffer from elevated Cd levels, as well as …

Soil microorganisms play a key role in regulating soil organic carbon (SOC) accrual. Organic
amendments with distinct stoichiometry may lead to imbalanced supply of carbon (C) …

Owing to its sparse vegetation and low soil organic carbon (SOC) content, the Loess Plateau
is one of the regions with the highest carbon (C) sequestration potential [1]. Vegetation …

Arable land is facing the growing challenge of land degradation due to intensive use and
this is beginning to affect global food security. However, active and passive restoration can …

To restore degraded roadside ecosystems, conventional methods such as revegetation and
soil amendment are frequently employed. However, our understanding of the long-term …

Organic fertilization and deep ploughing are expected to contribute to carbon (C)
sequestration in arable soils. This hypothesis was evaluated over 11 years of chemical and …
