The soil stable carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) isotopes are widely used to indicate C 3/C 4
vegetation history, N sources and transformation processes, respectively. However, land use …

Stoichiometry is an important indicator of the elemental balance in ecological interactions
and processes. The impact of change in land use on soil aggregates, however, is uncertain …

Excessive human disturbance in karst area has caused serious degradation of soil and
vegetation. Understandings of the relationships between lithology, topography, soil, and …

Abstract Soil carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) contents and its stoichiometry are
important indicators of the elemental balance in ecological interactions and processes …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important pool in the global carbon cycle, playing a vital role
in moderating atmospheric CO 2 concentrations. Soil is the largest carbon pool in terrestrial …

Ecological stoichiometry is an effective tool for analyzing and explaining changes and
connections between plants and the environment. However, the changes in ecological …

Grazing prohibition is an effective measure in improving soil stability and ecological quality.
However, only a limited number of studies have been published on the dominant factors that …

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 …

Land use/cover change (LUCC) is the most direct manifestation of the interaction between
human activities and natural ecosystems. In recent years, due to the increasing human …

Soil nutrient contents and stoichiometric ratios are determinants for soil biogeochemical
cycling and functions. Variable rock fragment contents (RFC) may shape the soil nutrient …
