The vertical distribution of soil organic carbon and its relation to climate and vegetation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the association of soil organic carbon (SOC) content with climate and soil texture at different soil depths, and tested the hypothesis that vegetation type, through patterns of allocation, is a dominant control on the vertical distribution of SOC.

Trading water for carbon with biological carbon sequestration

TL;DR: In this article, the authors combined field research, synthesis of more than 600 observations, and climate and economic modeling to document substantial losses in stream flow, and increased soil salinization and acidification, with afforestation.

Trading water for carbon with biological carbon sequestration

TL;DR: This work combined field research, synthesis of more than 600 observations, and climate and economic modeling to document substantial losses in stream flow, and increased soil salinization and acidification, with afforestation in tree plantations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ecosystem carbon loss with woody plant invasion of grasslands.

TL;DR: A clear negative relationship between precipitation and changes in soil organic carbon and nitrogen content when grasslands were invaded by woody vegetation is found, with drier sites gaining, and wetter sites losing, soilorganic carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI

The distribution of soil nutrients with depth: Global patterns and the imprint of plants

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the importance of plants in structuring the vertical distributions of soil nutrients and found that the nutrients that are most limiting for plants would have the shallowest average distributions across ecosystems, and the vertical distribution of a limiting nutrient would be shallower as the nutrient became more scarce.
