“…Gradients in soil properties have been studied at the scales of patches (Jenerette et al 2010), cities (Pouyat et al 2006;Pouyat et al 2010), regions (Pouyat et al 2007;Li et al 2013), and globally (Pouyat et al 2006). The urban-rural gradient paradigm characterizes variation in soils with respect to the degree of urbanization as measured by land-use intensity (Su et al 2019), style of land management (Mao et al 2014), particular microenvironments (Liu et al 2007), and/or the ora and fauna that compose soils (Zhu and Carreiro 1999;Zhao et al 2010). This paradigm is considered useful for describing effects of urbanization on soil nutrients due to its simplicity and effectiveness (Bennett 2003;Vasenev et al 2013;Chen et al 2014;Meng et al 2018).…”

Urban-rural gradients of soil nutrients may be affected by many factors including land use, vegetation cover, and management. In this study, we investigated soil nutrients along urban-rural gradients beneath Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis Carr.) in parks, neighborhoods and roadsides in Beijing, China. Soil levels of organic carbon, calcium, and magnesium are signi cantly higher in neighborhoods and parks than in roadsides. Soil nitrate-nitrogen levels are higher in neighborhoods than in roadsides. Soil magnesium levels are higher in neighborhoods than in parks. Interestingly, soil moisture, nitrate-nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, and available phosphorus and potassium all decreased in parks along the urban to rural gradient. Soil available phosphorus also declined along urban-rural gradients in neighborhoods.Thus, land use plays an important role in modifying urban-rural gradients of soil nutrients.

Urban-rural gradients of soil nutrients may be affected by many factors including land use, vegetation cover, and management. In this study, we investigated soil nutrients along urban-rural gradients beneath Chinese pine (Pinus tabulaeformis Carr.) in parks, neighborhoods and roadsides in Beijing, China. Soil levels of organic carbon, calcium, and magnesium are significantly higher in neighborhoods and parks than in roadsides. Soil nitrate-nitrogen levels are higher in neighborhoods than in roadsides. Soil magnesium levels are higher in neighborhoods than in parks. Interestingly, soil moisture, nitrate-nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, and available phosphorus and potassium all decreased in parks along the urban to rural gradient. Soil available phosphorus also declined along urban-rural gradients in neighborhoods. Thus, land use plays an important role in modifying urban-rural gradients of soil nutrients.
