Soil enzyme activities can indicate soil quality due to the catalyst roles enzymes play in
various soil biochemical processes. However, little is known about the variations in soil …

Organic carbon (OC) sequestration through soil aggregation is an important aspect of land
use change/conversion (LUCC) influencing the terrestrial ecosystem C cycle, although little …

Afforestation and natural succession on former croplands are typical measures used for
revegetation in ecologically fragile areas worldwide. However, there are few studies …

Litter quality determines the decomposability of litter and the proportion of recalcitrant
residues, which in turn can affect the accumulation of soil organic carbon (SOC). However …

Regional land use change is the main cause of the ecosystem carbon storage changes by
affecting emission and sink process. However, there has been little research on the …

To elucidate the effects of land-use types and afforestation age on litter decomposition, soil
nutrient dynamics, and their relationship with substrate quality and soil environmental …

Land use changes profoundly affect the equilibrium of soil organic carbon (SOC)
sequestration and greenhouse gas emissions. With the current global climatic changes, it is …

Abstract Study Region Yangpota Mountain in Zhuanglang County, Loess Plateau Hilly Area.
Study Focus In dry and degraded ecosystems, water scarcity remains the most significant …

Vegetation restoration may increase the soil organic carbon stock (SOCS) but decrease the
soil water storage (SWS) of terrestrial ecosystems in arid and semiarid regions. To …

Purpose Adequate karst rocky desertification control measures are very important in
enhancing the soil quality and soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration in the karst regions …
