Soil phosphorus fractionation and nutrient dynamics along the Cooloola coastal dune chronosequence, southern Queensland, Australia
Chengrong Chen,Enqing Hou,Leo M. Condron,Gary Bacon,Maryam Esfandbod,Jon Olley,Benjamin L. Turner +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, changes in soil nutrient stocks, foliar nutrient concentrations, and chemical forms of soil P along the Cooloola chronosequence, a series of coastal dunes spanning ca. 500,000 years of pedogenesis in subtropical Queensland, were examined.

Changes in bacterial community composition across natural grassland and pine forests in the Bunya Mountains in subtropical Australia
Ju-Pei Shen,Ju-Pei Shen,Maryam Esfandbod,Steve A. Wakelin,Gary Bacon,Qiaoyun Huang,Chengrong Chen +6 more
TL;DR: Heterogeneity in soil edaphic properties likely contributed to variation in bacterial β-diversity of grassland and pine forest, which has potential implications for species coexistence and ecosystem function in montane eastern Australia.

Vertical distribution of soil extractable organic C and N contents and total C and N stocks in 78-year-old tree plantations in subtropical Australia.
TL;DR: The results addressed large differences in soil C and N stocks under different tree species, which can provide useful information for local forest management practices in this region.

Responses of soil dissolved organic matter to long-term plantations of three coniferous tree species
Shunbao Lu,Shunbao Lu,Shunbao Lu,Chengrong Chen,Xiaoqi Zhou,Zhihong Xu,Gary Bacon,Yichao Rui,Xiaomin Guo +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the pool sizes of soil dissolved organic matter (DOM), potential mineralizable N (PMN) and bioavailable carbon (C) (measured as cumulative CO2 evolution over 63 days) were compared in soils under three coniferous species - 73 year old slash (Pinus elliottii), hoop (Araucaria cunninghamii), and kauri (Agathis robusta) pines.
