Characteristics of Soil Active Carbon Fractions and Carbon Pool Stability in Major Forest Types in Northern Daxing’an Mountains by LIU Beibei, CAI Tijiu

“…The overall stability of soil organic carbon in coniferous forests in the cold temperate zone was greater than that in broad-leaved forests, but the rate of organic carbon loss from deeper soil layers in coniferous forests was higher than that in broad-leaved forests under higher temperatures. [Conclusion] This study helps to improve the understanding of soil active carbon and organic carbon pools in cold temperate forests, artificially promoting secondary forest succession or introducing coniferous species as soon as possible is suggested to form mixed forests in the region, but the role played by broad-leaved forests in soil carbon pools should not be ignored in the context of increasing global warming.…”
