Divergent Proton-Buffering Processes and Acidification Risks in Permanent and Variable-Charge Soils

Soil acidification threatens agroecosystems, yet the coupled, soil-specific proton-buffering mechanisms in permanent-charge soils (PCSs) and variable-charge soils (VCSs) remain insufficiently quantified. This study systematically investigated surface cation exchange, vacant site...

Decoupled Carbon and Nitrogen Cycling Across Soil Particle-Size Fractions in Apple Orchards of the Jiaodong Peninsula, China

The coupled mechanisms governing carbon–nitrogen turnover across soil particle-size fractions remain unclear. This study investigated soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) dynamics across five particle-size fractions in Cambisols under conventional and organic orchard...
