Topsoil and Deep Soil Organic Carbon Concentration and Stability Vary with Aggregate Size and Vegetation Type in Subtropical China
Fig 3
The weighted mean of soil organic carbon mineralized percentage in various aggregates vary with incubation days in two soil depths under two restored plantations of subtropical China.
CF and BF indicate coniferous forest and broad-leaved forest, respectively. Organic carbon mineralization modeling Cm = C0 (1-e-kt). Cm and C0 indicates the accumulative amount of organic carbon mineralization percentage within the incubation days and potential mineralization percentage, respectively; k and t indicate the mineralization constant and days, respectively.
