Abstract Knowledge of the soil organic carbon components and enzyme activities during
long‐term natural vegetation restoration is essential for managing the restoration of …

Soil physical and chemical properties and microbial biomass dynamics are significantly
related to vegetation types. However, how different vegetation types influence the soil and …

Land-use changes can alter soil carbon (C) contents, and in particular deforestation has
been responsible for a large part of the cumulative human-induced greenhouse gas (GHG) …

Microbial and enzyme activities are increasingly being recognized as sensitive indicators of
soil quality. This study aims to determine the impacts of different kinds of land use/cover, ie …

Soil quality and function in forest environments are influenced by the interaction of soil-
forming parameters and silvicultural systems. Hyrcanian forests were recently accepted as a …

Establishing mixed-species plantations on the reclaimed coastal lands has become a new
paradigm in forest management in China, because it increases the provision of ecosystem …

Water management and nitrogen application are critical factors in wheat grain yield and
protein quality. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of irrigation and nitrogen application …

Plantation's nutrient cycling can regulate and affect the material cycling of ecosystems,
which is the key to maintain the sustainable development of the plantation ecosystem …

Aims The interaction between plants and soil is an important internal driver of ecosystem
evolution. Many studies have reported the unidirectional effects of soil nutrients on plant …

Topsoil conditions in temperate forests are influenced by several soil-forming factors, such
