Abstract

Improvements in stocks and stability of forest soil organic carbon can be achieved through the management of tree species. Given the long lifespan of trees and their role as the keystone species in forested ecosystems, decisions regarding tree species management can have a significant impact on soil carbon balance, with effects that may persist for decades. Here, a common garden experiment involving five temperate tree species in northeast China was conducted to quantify the influence of tree species on soil carbon dynamics, including its fractions (mineral-associated organic carbon, particula
