Fire has been used for land clearing under rotational shifting cultivation (RSC) in Northern
Thailand for a long time. However, the effects of fire on soil organic carbon (SOC), soil total …

Forests are among the largest terrestrial carbon pools that are most vulnerable to land use
and land cover change (LULC). Therefore, it is essential to manage forest ecosystems to …

Predicting changes in carbon and nutrient cycles in plantations requires a mechanistic
understanding of the effects of stand age on soil quality and microbial communities. Here …

Soil organic matter contributes to productivity in terrestrial ecosystems and contains more
carbon than is found in the atmosphere. Yet, there is little understanding of soil organic …

Fire, a prevalent land management tool in rotational shifting cultivation (RSC), has long
been debated for its immediate disruption of surface soil, vegetation, and microbial …

Aims This research investigated the effects of woody plant identity and season on soil
physicochemical properties and microbiological function in the semi-arid Zagros forest, one …

Soil carbon sequestration is vital to reduce the atmospheric carbon concentration, which is
expected to increase within future climatic scenarios. The present study aims to investigate …

Shifting cultivation dominates many tropical forest regions. It is expanding into old‐growth
forests, and fallow period duration is rapidly decreasing, limiting secondary forest recovery …

Slash and burn cultivation (jhum), a major form of traditional agriculture in the hills of north
eastern Himalaya has now slowly shifted towards more stable forms of land use. This land …

There were some ecological and environmental problems in limestone soil in the karst peak-
cluster depression in Pingguo City of Guangxi, such as the destruction of soil structure, soil …
