Overview

Observational analysis reveals how forest structure affects soil organic carbon in plantation forests, suggesting broader ecological implications.

Key Points

  • Soil organic carbon (SOC) was higher in broad-leaved forests, indicating a better carbon storage capacity overall.
  • The dominant macroaggregates (> 2 mm) made up approximately 40% of total aggregates, influencing soil quality strongly.
  • Soil aggregate stability indicators favored broad-leaved forests, which exhibited superior mean weight diameter and geometric mean diameter.
  • The findings underscore the importance of forest structure for enhancing soil stability and organic carbon storage.
