Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Changes following Afforestation of Marginal Cropland across a Precipitation Gradient in Loess Plateau of China
Cropland afforestation has been widely found to increase soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil total nitrogen (STN); however, the magnitudes of SOC and STN accumulation and regulating factors are less studied in dry, marginal lands, and therein the interaction between soil carbon and nitrogen is not well understood. We examined the changes in SOC and STN in younger (5-9-year-old) and older (25-30-...

متن کاملDetermination of suitable areas for reforestation and afforestation with indigenous species
To be successful in tree establishment, an assessment of land suitability would be necessary. The aim of this study was determining the potential habitats of three native tree species (Quercus persica, Pistacia atlantica, Amygdalous scoparia) in Siahkoh region of Ilam County, using Boolean method and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). For this regard, the slope, aspect and hypsometric maps o...
متن کاملGlobal patterns of the dynamics of soil carbon and nitrogen stocks following afforestation: a meta-analysis.
• Afforestation has been proposed as an effective method of carbon (C) sequestration; however, the magnitude and direction of soil carbon accumulation following afforestation and its regulation by soil nitrogen (N) dynamics are still not well understood. • We synthesized the results from 292 sites and carried out a meta-analysis to evaluate the dynamics of soil C and N stocks following afforest...
متن کاملImpacts of Afforestation, Deforestation, and Reforestation on Forest Cover in China from 1949 to 2003
gauge instrument or prism was introduced, which significantly expedited the process. There was no national forest resource information in China during 1963–1972. The first NFI was performed during 1973–1976, in which a stratified systematic sampling technique was used to locate NFI sample plots. Each province, autonomous region, or municipal city designed one or more sampling populations accord...
