Contribution of soil microbial necromass to SOC stocks during vegetation recovery in a subtropical karst ecosystem

, 2020
Carbon sequestration is a key soil function, and an increase in soil organic carbon (SOC) is an indicator of ecosystem recovery because it underpins other ecosystem services by acting as a substrate for the soil microbial community.
