Carbon, Nitrogen and Phosphorus Contents of Wetland Soils in Relation to Environment Factors in Northeast China
Description: Soil organic carbon (OC) is sensitive to climatic change, and it can be expected to manifest measurable responses to global warming. Globally, nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are the most common nutrients limiting plant growth and soil carbon storage. These researchers collected soil samples at 17 marsh sites in August 2012 across Northeast China. These samples were analysed for variations in soil organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) levels, and multiple controlling of environmental and biotic factors.
