Reduced turnover rate of topsoil organic carbon in old-growth forests: a case study in subtropical China

Forest Ecosystems, 2021
Background Old-growth forests are irreplaceable with respect to climate change mitigation and have considerable carbon (C) sink potential in soils. However, the relationship between the soil organic carbon (SOC) turnover rate and forest development is ...

Equity in ecosystem restoration [PDF]

Restoration Ecology, 2021
The importance of equity has been emphasized in climate change, biodiversity loss, land degradation, and ecosystem restoration. However, equity implications are rarely considered explicitly in restoration projects. Although the role of equity has been studied in the context of biodiversity conservation and environmental governance, environmental ...
