The effects of broad-leaved tree species on litter quality and soil properties in a plain forest stand
Y Kooch, B Samadzadeh, SM Hosseini - Catena, 2017 - Elsevier
The role of tree species on litter quality and soil characters is less known in mixed forest
stand. For this reason, the effect of Carpinus betulus (CB), Acer velutinum (AV), Pterocarya …

Equivalent-mass versus fixed-depth as criteria for quantifying soil carbon sequestration: How relevant is the difference?
Soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is often quantified through the comparison of SOC
stocks down to a fixed depth, usually 30 cm. This approach gives biased estimates because …
