Higher tree species richness generally increases the storage of soil organic carbon (SOC).
However, less attention is paid to the influence of varied tree species composition on SOC …

Abstract Changes in the chemical composition of soil organic carbon (SOC) might strongly
affect the global carbon cycle as it controls the SOC decomposition rate. Vegetation change …

Soil organic matter contributes to productivity in terrestrial ecosystems and contains more
carbon than is found in the atmosphere. Yet, there is little understanding of soil organic …

The impact of human activities on soil carbon (C) storage in tropical forests has aroused
wide concern during the past decades, because these ecosystems play a key role in …

Subtropical China has more than 60% of the total plantation area in China and over 70% of
these subtropical plantations are composed of pure coniferous species. In view of low …

Background Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a large reservoir of terrestrial carbon (C); it
consists of different fractions of varying complexity and stability. Partitioning SOC into …

Tropical and subtropical forest ecosystems play an important role in the global carbon
regulation. Although positive relationships between biodiversity and soil organic carbon …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a critical role in supporting key ecosystem functions and
services for humanity. Despite the widespread conversion of primary forests to plantations …

Recent evidence has demonstrated that tropical forest secondary succession has significant
influences on soil organic C (SOC) storage. However, the changes in the SOC functional …

Vegetation type is known to affect soil organic carbon (SOC) storage. However, the
magnitudes and distributions of SOC sequestration and driving factors for different …
