[Vertical Distribution of Soil Dissolved Carbon and Its Influencing Factors in the Artificial Shelterbelt Irrigated with Saline Water in an Extreme Drought Desert].

Dissolved carbon (DC) is the most active carbon fraction in soils. Vegetation restoration and reconstruction accelerate the carbon cycle in arid desert regions. Studying the DC distribution in soil profiles of artificial shelterbelt under saline irrigation can provide theoretical support and decision-making basis for artificial shelterbelt management, development, and utilization in arid desert areas.
