Response of forest growth to C:N:P stoichiometry in plants and soils during Robinia pseudoacacia afforestation on the Loess Plateau, China
Wei Zhang,Weichao Liu,Miaoping Xu,Jian Deng,Xinhui Han,Gaihe Yang,Yongzhong Feng,Guangxin Ren +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, soil and plant samples were collected from one farmland site and four Robinia pseudoacacia (RP) forests that were planted for 10, 15, 25, and 35 years.

Ecoenzymatic stoichiometry and nutrient dynamics along a revegetation chronosequence in the soils of abandoned land and Robinia pseudoacacia plantation on the Loess Plateau, China
Wei Zhang,Yadong Xu,Dexin Gao,Xing Wang,Weichao Liu,Jian Deng,Xinhui Han,Gaihe Yang,Yongzhong Feng,Guangxin Ren +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of vegetation restoration on plant characteristics and soil physicochemical properties have been widely documented; however, knowledge of the variation in soil ecoenzymatic activity and stoichiometry remains limited, particularly with respect to their relationship with plant and soil variables.

Effects of land use change on organic carbon dynamics associated with soil aggregate fractions on the Loess Plateau, China
Zekun Zhong,Xinhui Han,Yadong Xu,Wei Zhang,Shuyue Fu,Weichao Liu,Chengjie Ren,Gaihe Yang,Guangxin Ren +8 more
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper studied the changes in aggregate dynamics and their contributions to organic carbon (OC) accumulation after LUCC in regions with serious soil erosion in the Loess Plateau, China.

Plant functional composition and species diversity affect soil C, N, and P during secondary succession of abandoned farmland on the Loess Plateau
Wei Zhang,Chengjie Ren,Jian Deng,Fazhu Zhao,Gaihe Yang,Xinhui Han,Xiaogang Tong,Yongzhong Feng +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the effects of plant functional composition and diversity on soil C, N, and P at different soil depths, and found that plant diversity had a stronger impact on soil contents and ratios at soil depths of 20-60 cm than at 0-20 cm depth, because plant diversity exacerbates interspecific competition and forces the roots to grow deeper.

Edaphic factors but not plant characteristics mainly alter soil microbial properties along a restoration chronosequence of Pinus tabulaeformis stands on Mt. Ziwuling, China
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that soil bacteria rather than fungi can reflect the changes in plant and soil properties with increasing stand age, and the shifts in the predominant bacterial and fungal characteristics along the age gradient were mainly the result of differences in soil physicochemical factors prevailing at each restoration stage.
