The research aims to explore how different factors influence soil organic carbon dynamics during alpine meadow restoration.
Analyzed soil properties and microbial communities over a restoration timeline using a space-for-time substitution approach.
Employed Spearman correlation, linear regression, and random forest analysis to quantify driver contributions.
Identified a unimodal pattern of soil organic carbon, peaking at various times across the restoration timeline.
Found soil water content and total nitrogen to be primary predictors of soil organic carbon.
Noted that microbial community composition significantly affects particulate organic carbon, while enzyme activity drives mineral-associated organic carbon.
