Soil carbon and nitrogen stores and storage potential as affected by land-use in an agro-pastoral ecotone of northern China
TL;DR: Li et al. as discussed by the authors investigated productivity and belowground carbon and nitrogen stores under six different types of land-uses, namely free grazing (FG), grazing exclusion (GE), mowing (MW), corn plantation (CP), fallow (FL), and alfalfa pasture (AP), and their impacts on litter and fine roots in semiarid grassland ecosystems.

Litter decomposition and nutrient release as affected by soil nitrogen availability and litter quality in a semiarid grassland ecosystem
TL;DR: This semiarid steppe ecosystem may become more conservative in nutrient use with switching of dominance from Artemisia to Stipa with increasing soil N, because StipA has a slower decomposition rate and a higher nutrient retention rate than Artemisia.
Tillage effects outweigh seasonal effects on soil nematode community structure

TL;DR: The results showed that nematodes responded specifically to tillage practices at both soil depths, and there was a consistent succession of specifically enriched genera from Filenchus in CT to Rhabditis in RT and then to Prismatolaimus in NT in 0–5 cm over the growing season, indicating that tillage may indirectly affect nematode community through alteration of soil properties.

Litter Decomposition in Semiarid Grassland of Inner Mongolia, China
TL;DR: In this article, decomposition rates and nutrient dynamics of pure litter (leaf, stem, or root litter) and 11 litter mixtures (from two to five litter components) of five common plant species in degraded semiarid rangelands of northern China were studied for 1 year.

Effects of long-term tillage on carbon partitioning of nematode metabolism in a Black soil of Northeast China
TL;DR: The results suggest that NT is more favorable than RT for allocating C into soil organisms under long-term application in the Black soil of Northeast China, which is one of the major strategies for maintaining agricultural sustainability.
