Root Production and Microbe-Derived Carbon Inputs Jointly Drive Rapid Soil Carbon Accumulation at the Early Stages of Forest Succession
Plants and microbes are the primary drivers in affecting the formation and accrual of soil organic carbon (SOC) for natural ecosystems. However, experimental evidence elucidating their underlying mechanisms for SOC accumulation remains elusive. Here, we quantified plant and microbial contributions t...
