Content and distribution of unprotected soil organic carbon in natural and monoculture plantation forests of Castanopsis kawakamii in subtropical China
格氏栲天然林与人工林土壤非保护性有机C含量及分配

Soil organic carbon (SOC) pool plays an important role in mitigating the rise of atmospheric CO_2. Due to its relatively unprotected (biochemical and physical) status, the unprotected SOC, be measured as either the light fraction (LFOC) or particulate organic carbon (POC), is sensitive to management practices and could contribute highly to rise in atmospheric CO_2 when inappropriate managements are employed. In South China, large-scale native forests have been converted to fast-growth and high yield commerc...
