Soil organic carbon and nitrogen play pivotal roles as indicators of soil quality and
ecological functioning in wetlands. The escalating impact of human activities and climate …

Soil hydraulic properties determine water transport, distribution and storage in soils, thus
affect ecosystem functioning. Soil water retention parameters, such as saturation water …

Raster resolution has a significant impact on quantifying farmland soil organic carbon (SOC)
stock. However, it remains poorly understood to set an appropriate raster resolution when …

Plant diversity strongly affected the grassland productivity and soil C and N storage.
Nitrogen enrichment weakens the stability of the ecosystem through decreased biodiversity …

Agricultural activities have significantly impacted the ecological functions of wetlands in semi-
arid regions. Assessing plant functional traits can aid in understanding the variability in …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the principal factor contributing to enhanced soil fertility and
also functions as the major carbon sink within terrestrial ecosystems. Applying fertilizer is a …

Silvoarable is a type of agroforestry practice where a woody component is deliberately
integrated with an arable crop as part of the understory. Silvoarable practices are generally …

Background Analysing the status of ecosystem services and their driving mechanisms along
environmental gradients is highly important for the reconstruction and protection of regional …

As a key soil carbon process, changes in plant root growth may have a dramatic impact on
the global ecosystem's carbon cycle. Fine root functional traits and fine root biomass can be …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important component of the global carbon pool, whose
accumulation and decomposition affect the balance of the global carbon cycle and climate …
