Abstract: The forest litter is an essential reservoir of nutrients in forests, supplying a large part of absorbable base cations (BC) to topsoil, and facilitating plant growth within litter-soil system. To characterize elevational patterns of base… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2019.00581
Abstract: Phytolith-occluded carbon (PhytOC) can be preserved in soils or sediments for thousands of years and might be a promising potential mechanism for long-term terrestrial carbon (C) sequestration. As the principal pathway for the return of… read more here.
