DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4340
Abstract: Abstract Afforestation is often viewed as the purposeful planting of trees in historically nonforested grasslands, but an unintended consequence is woody encroachment, which should be considered part of the afforestation process. In North America's temperate… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2019.03.069
Abstract: Nitrogen (N) fertilizer application and atmospheric N deposition will profoundly affect greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions, especially nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) fluxes and ecosystem respiration (Re, i.e. CO2 emissions). However, the impacts of long-term… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geoderma.2018.03.020
Abstract: Abstract Soil carbon (C) availability may play a crucial role in regulating how soil respiration responds to the increase of nitrogen (N) inputs. However, the related research is sporadic so far and has not adequately… read more here.
