Article Synopsis
- This study examines the changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) during the development of secondary forests in the Loess Plateau, focusing on three stages: primary, transition, and mature forests.
- Results reveal that SOC content and storage significantly increase as forests mature, especially in the top layers of soil, while SOC content decreases with depth.
- The chemical composition of SOC shifts from more easily decomposable aliphatic carbon to more stable aromatic carbon during succession, with varying stability in different soil depths.
