In order to evaluate the dynamics of carbon storage during forest succession and explore the significance of water relations and soil stability in forest environments, a study was conducted in 2011. This study investigated the dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) fractions and its protection through aggregation along the successional forests. An experiment in South China examined pine forest (...

The bacteria and their phages are the most abundant constituents of the aquatic environment, and so represent an ideal model for studying carbon regulation in an aquatic system. The microbe-mediated interconversion of bioavailable organic carbon (OC) into dissolved organic carbon (DOC) by the microbial carbon pump (MCP) has been suggested to have the potential to revolutionize our view of carbo...

the effects of dominant shrub species on soil organic matter (som), including total soil carbon (sc), total nitrogen (n) and particulate organic matter (pom) were studied in three stands differing in the type of shrub species, i.e. astragalus microcephalus (shrub), pteropyrum aucheri (shrub) and prangus uloptera (non-shrub).the stands were located in arid grasslands of north-western iran. for t...

the objective of this work was to study the effects of tillage and liquid manure applications on some physical and chemical properties as well as on the carbon and nitrogen mineralization potential of a meadow soil. our results indicated that tillage and manure applications had no effect on the concentration of cu, mn, total n and organic c in 0-15 cm layer of soil after 15 years of treatment. ...

The loss of inorganic and organic material export and habitat produced by freshwater tidal wetlands is hypothesized to be an important contributing factor to the long-term decline in fishery production in San Francisco Estuary. However, due to the absence of freshwater tidal wetlands in the estuary, there is little information on the export of inorganic and organic carbon, nutrient or phytoplan...
