Recalcitrant carbon controls the magnitude of soil organic matter mineralization in temperate forests of northern China
Abstract Background The large potential of the soil organic carbon (SOC) pool to sequester CO2 from the atmosphere could greatly ameliorate the effect of future climate change. However, the quantity of carbon stored in terrestrial soils largely depends upon the magnitude of SOC mineralization. SOC m...
