TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated changes of C stocks in Chinese fir plantations converted from a natural broadleaved forest, based on a typical chronosequence in mountainland of subtropical China, which includes six first-generation Chinese fir stands at different development stages: 2- (recently regenerated), 7- (sapling), 16- (middle-aged), 21- (pre-mature), 40- (mature) and 88-year-old (overmature).About:

Analysing the spatial and temporal dynamics of species interactions in mixed-species forests and the effects of stand density using the 3-PG model
David I. Forrester,Xiaolu Tang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the 3-PGmix model was adapted for mixed-species forests and for thinned stands by modifying the light-absorption routine and allowing for within-canopy vertical gradients in climate in the water balance routine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Storage in a Eucalyptus Plantation Chronosequence in Southern China
TL;DR: The tree biomass C pool increased with stand age and showed a high annual rate of accumulation and the C pool in mineral soil increased initially after afforestation and then declined gradually, with C density decreasing with soil depth.

Large amounts of easily decomposable carbon stored in subtropical forest subsoil are associated with r-strategy-dominated soil microbes
Yuping Chen,Yuping Chen,Guangshui Chen,David Robinson,Zhijie Yang,Jianfen Guo,Jinsheng Xie,Shenglei Fu,Lixia Zhou,Yusheng Yang +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of modified Michaelis-Menten kinetics, substrate-induced respiration, soil C decomposition, soil basal respiration measurements, and phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA) analysis was used.

Soil pH, organic matter, and nutrient content change with the continuous cropping of Cunninghamia lanceolata plantations in South China
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors investigated soil pH, soil organic matter (SOM), and nutrient contents in different soil layers and in rhizosphere soil (RS) and non-rhizosphere soils (NRS) under Chinese fir plantations of different ages and in different rotations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Significant increase in ecosystem C can be achieved with sustainable forest management in subtropical plantation forests
Xiaohua Wei,Juan A. Blanco +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown how it is possible to increase and sustain carbon stored in subtropical forest plantations if management is switched towards more sustainable forestry and this C increase can be sustained in the long term through the maintenance of higher amounts of soil organic carbon and the production of timber products with longer life spans.

The Strategy of Ecosystem Development
TL;DR: The principles of ecological succession bear importantly on the relationships between man and nature and needs to be examined as a basis for resolving man’s present environmental crisis.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Carbon pools and flux of global forest ecosystems.
Robert K. Dixon,Allen M. Solomon,Sandra Brown,Richard A. Houghton,M. C. Trexier,J. Wisniewski +5 more
TL;DR: Slowing deforestation, combined with an increase in forestation and other management measures to improve forest ecosystem productivity, could conserve or sequester significant quantities of carbon.

Soil carbon stocks and land use change: a meta analysis
L. B. Guo,R. M. Gifford +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of land use changes on soil carbon stocks was reviewed and a meta-analysis of these data from 74 publications was conducted, which indicated that soil C stocks decline after land use change from pasture to plantation (−10%), native forest to plantations (−13), native forests to crop (−42), and pasture to crop (+59%), while the reverse process usually increased soil carbon and vice versa.
