The impact of fast-growing eucalypt plantations on C emissions in tropical soil: effect of belowground and aboveground C inputs.

Planted forest soils can have great potential for CO-C sequestration, mainly due to belowground C inputs, which impact deep soil C (DSC) accumulation. However, there are still gaps in understanding the CO emission dynamics in eucalypt plantations. Therefore, we used isotopic techniques to investigate the dynamics of the soil surface CO-C flux and CO-C concentration with depth for a eucalypt plantation influenced by different C inputs (above- and belowground).
