Abstract:Artificial restoration is an important strategy to restore plant communities and soil nutrients in degraded grassland ecosystems. Despite that research has been extensive on the impacts of vegetation restoration on soil carbon storage, little work has been tried to examine the impacts of artificial restoration on the vertical distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) storage following revegetation in grassland ecosystems.In this paper, the responses of plant species diversity, litter biomass (LB), aboveground … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
