Numerous studies have reported that treelines are moving to higher elevations and higher
latitudes. Most treelines are temperature limited and warmer climate expands the area in …

The effects of topography, land cover type, and soil physicochemical properties on the
distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) have drawn growing …

Agroforestry is an integrated land use management that combines a woody component with
a lower story agricultural production recognized as one of the most important tools to …

Organic matter amendments have been proposed as a means to enhance soil carbon (C)
stocks on degraded soils. However, only few data exist on rates of soil C sequestration or …

The soil organic carbon (SOC) and nitrogen (N) in the Yunnan Province, southwestern
China, is related to the complex topography and multiple vegetation zones. However, the …

Soil erosion and deposition processes play an important role influencing accumulation and
long-term stability of soil organic carbon (SOC). Therefore, evaluations of landscape-scale …

Mapping of soil organic matter (SOM) in cultivated land is one of the important aspects of
digital soil mapping, and its results are of great significance for agricultural precision …

Soil organic carbon (SOC) plays a critical role in the global carbon (C) cycle, and C
sequestration in forest soils can represent a C sink. A relevant question is how does SOC …

Background This study investigated the variation of soil organic carbon in four land cover
types: natural and mixed forest, cultivated land, Eucalyptus plantation and open bush land …

Elevational gradients strongly affect the spatial distribution and structure of soil bacterial
communities. However, our understanding of the effects and determining factors is still …
