TL;DR: The accumulation of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) and their vertical distribution in the soil profile in relation to site age were studied in a chronosequence of 19 sites on reclaimed spoil heaps from open-cast coal mining, near Sokolov (Czech Republic) and compared to a semi-natural alder forest in the vicinity of the mining area.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors collected PC samples derived from the same wood material and exposed to natural environmental conditions for 1 and 11 similar to years, and subjected these materials to repeated laboratory incubation studies at temperatures of up to 60°C, as ground surface temperatures above 30°C and up-60°C occur regularly over a significant area of the tropics and sub-tropics.

TL;DR: In this article, a transect along the Yenisei River, Central Siberia, was used to investigate the relationship between vegetation, latitude, soil quality (pH, texture), soil organic carbon (SOC), and microbial properties.

TL;DR: In this paper, carbon-isotope data for the 0-5 cm layer of soil on a transect from 49.6°N to 68°N, from mature forest and tundra ecosystems in the boreal-arctic zone of interior western Canada.

TL;DR: A large tree-ring network covering the whole area of the Czech Republic was utilized to investigate how the climate-growth relationships of Norway spruce are affected by 1) various geographical variables, 2) changing levels of acidic deposition, 3) soil characteristics and 4) age, tree diameter and neighbourhood competition.
