Abstract:Context Studies of afforestation have traditionally neglected the influences of plant microhabitats on the growth and carbon sink capacities of planted forests. Aims We investigated the potential mechanisms related to the relationship of afforestation elevation to soil organic carbon density (SOCD). Methods The carbon density of three plantation ecosystems and barren land soils were evaluated at two elevations in the Donglingshan Mountains of Beijing, with structural equation modelling and variat… Show more
