Exchangeable Ca2+ content and soil aggregate stability control the soil organic carbon content in degraded Horqin grassland
Grasslands store 20–30% of global soil organic carbon (SOC) but a majority of grasslands are suffering degradation accompanied by SOC loss. SOC stock is determined by the balance between C input from plants and C output from microbial decomposition, but the relative importance of these factors in co...
