Stoichiometric Variation in Soil Carbon, Nitrogen, and Phosphorus Following Cropland Conversion to Forest in Southwest China by Mengzhen Lu, Kunping Liu, Lijin Zhang, Fuping Zeng, Tongqing Song, Wanxia Peng, Hu Du

“…The evolution mechanism of the SOC, Total Nitrogen (TN), Total Phosphorus (TP), and stoichiometry following the “conversion of cropland to forest program” (CCFP) in southwest China is not yet clear. Seven different CCFP restoration models, including <i>Zenia insignis</i> (RD), <i>Toona sinensis</i> (XC), <i>Castanea mollissima</i> (BL), <i>Citrus reticulate</i> (GJ), <i>Zenia insignis</i> and Guimu-1 elephant grass (RG), Guimu-1 elephant grass (GM), and abandoned cropland (LH), were chosen to explore changes in the concentration and stoichiometry of the SOC, TN, and TP, and their recovery times, at a depth of 0–100 cm. …”

Effects of Phosphorus Fertilizer Application Rates on Colloidal Phosphorus Leaching in Purple Soil in Southwest China by Xiaoling He, Zicheng Zheng, Tingxuan Li, Shuqin He, Zhi Li

“…Therefore, a soil column leaching experiment was undertaken with different P fertilization application rates (0, 20, 40, 100, 200, and 400 mg kg⁻¹) for purple soil in southwest China. P application rates had significant effects on CP and dissolved phosphorus concentrations in the top soils (<i>p</i> < 0.05) (e.g., 0–10 cm in this study), and they further increased P leaching loss by 24–375%. …”
