Decreased Soil Organic Carbon under Litter Input in Three Subalpine Forests

Decreased Soil Organic Carbon under Litter Input in Three Subalpine Forests

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the largest terrestrial organic carbon pool. Plant litter is an important source of SOC, but the knowledge gap between SOC fractions and plant litter input remains inconsistent. Here, a litter input control experiment was conducted at three subalpine forest types (conife...
