Carbon and nitrogen contents in particle–size fractions of topsoil along a 3000 km aridity gradient in grasslands of northern China
Climate factors such as aridity significantly influence soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks in terrestrial ecosystems. Further, soil texture plays an important role in driving changes of soil C and N contents at regional scale. However, it remains uncertain whether such changes resulted from the...
