Land use change is an important factor affecting soil carbon and nitrogen cycle, and this is a hot spot in the study of global climate change. Based on the fixed depth method (FD) and the equivalent mass method (ESM), we explored the effects of land use change on soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) storage from the perspectives of forest reclamation and farmland vegetation restoration in Karst area. The storage of SOC and TN significantly decreased after the fore-sts were converted to grassland, eucalyptus and farmland.
