Response of Soil Respiration to Acid Rain in Forests of Different Maturity in Southern China
Guohua Liang,Xingzhao Liu,Xiaomei Chen,Qingyan Qiu,Deqiang Zhang,Guowei Chu,Juxiu Liu,Shizhong Liu,Guoyi Zhou +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that the depressed effect of acid rain on soil respiration in southern China may be more pronounced in the future in light of the projected change in forest maturity, due to the nature of this field study with chronosequence design and the related pseudoreplication for forest types.
Soil fauna drives vertical redistribution of soil organic carbon in a long‐term irrigated dry pine forest
Claudia Guidi,Beat Frey,Ivano Brunner,Katrin Meusburger,Michael E. Vogel,Xiaomei Chen,Tobias Stucky,Dariusz J. Gwiazdowicz,Piotr Skubała,Arun K. Bose,Marcus Schaub,Andreas Rigling,Frank Hagedorn +12 more
TL;DR: The authors explored the overlooked role of soil fauna on organic carbon storage in forests, hypothesizing that soil faunal activity is particularly drought-sensitive, thereby reducing litter incorporation into the mineral soil and, eventually, long-term SOC storage.

Effects of precipitation intensity on soil organic carbon fractions and their distribution under subtropical forests of South China
TL;DR: The percentage of soil POC, ROC, and LFOC to soil TOC was much greater under the forests at early successional stage than at climax stage, suggesting that the forest at earlysuccessional stage might not be an ideal place for soil organic carbon storage.

Urbanization induced changes in the accumulation mode of organic carbon in the surface soil of subtropical forests
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors collected litter and soil samples in the surface layer of six urban and suburban forests to fractionate organic carbon (SOC) by combining physical, chemical and biological methods and quantify the contents of these SOC fractions.

TL;DR: In this article, three levels of N (NH4NO3)-addition treatments comprising control, low-N (50 kg N ha-1 y-1), and medium-N(100 ǫ kg N ha −1 y −1) were established.
