Clay mineral surface area and pore size have contrasting effect on accumulation of soil organic matter fractions in the rhizosphere

Abstract Clay minerals play an important role in soil organic matter (SOM) accumulation. This study used a series of pot experiments to observe carbon (C) storage in rhizosphere of two plant species Festuca rubra and Lotus corniculatus growing in three soil forming substrates dom...

The Effect of Nitrogen and Phosphorus Fertilization on Plant Community Along Chronosequences of Reclaimed and Unreclaimed Postmining Soils After Coal Mining

ABSTRACT Nitrogen and phosphorus availability drive plant community composition, productivity, and ecosystem functioning. During succession, nutrient availability typically changes as organic matter accumulates in the soil, influencing both nitrogen and phosphorus pools. We asses...
