TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that since erosion levels have returned to historic values, vegetation should be maintained but not expanded further as planned, and they suggest that China's Grain for Green project has greatly increased the vegetation cover on the Loess Plateau.

TL;DR: In this paper, a study comparing soil organic carbon at different vegetation succession stages along a 150-year chronosequence was conducted in the Ziwuling forest region located in the central part of the Loess Plateau, China.

TL;DR: N deposition not only increased the size of the soil C pool but also increased global greenhouse gas emissions, as calculated by the global warming potential approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the variation of soil organic carbon decomposition rates, to quantify the changes in the proportion of new and old soil OC, and to explore the factors controlling soil OC stock patterns.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared sites along a vegetation restoration chronosequence over a 30-year period on the Loess Plateau, China, and measured the potential activities of two C-acquiring enzymes (β-1,4-glucosidase (BG) and β-d -cellobiosidase(CBH)), two N-acquired enzymes (α-1-4-N-acetylglucosaaminidases (NAG) and l -leucine aminopeptidase), and one organic
