Modeling soil organic carbon change in croplands of China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Using 1990 conditions, we modeled carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) biogeochemical cycles in croplands of China (and, for comparison, the United States) to estimate the annual soil organic-carbon (SOC) balance for all cropland.
