Abstract:Background and AimsAfforestation and thinning management are effective ways to mitigate global warming. The mechanism of soil carbon recovery is effectively explored by linking soil aggregate and isotopic 13 C.
MethodsSoil samples were collected from nearby agricultural land (AL) and larch plantations (established in 1965 and thinning in1995, UT: 2500 tree ha − 1 , MT: 1867 tree ha − 1 , and ST: 1283 tree ha − 1 ). The soil was separated into three aggregates (LMAC: >2 mm, SMAC: 2-0.25 mm, MIC: 0.25 − 0.053), … 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.
