This study aims to understand how different vegetation types impact soil organic carbon dynamics and sequestration mechanisms in wetlands.
Investigated four vegetation types: reed marsh, woodland, farmland, and wasteland
Analyzed soil organic carbon content in 0–10 cm and 10–20 cm layers
Examined abiotic and biotic factors influencing carbon stability and microbial communities
Reed marshes had the highest total organic carbon (TOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) due to anaerobic conditions (p<0.05)
Woodlands showed higher dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and microbial biomass carbon (MBC) despite weaker stability
Farmlands and wastelands had intense organic carbon turnover, increasing carbon mineralization and decreasing sequestration capacity
