文摘
- •
Soil organic carbon (SOC) inventory in tropical forest systems
- •
High SOC stock variability recorded between the investigated forest systems
- •
Disturbance (40 years ago) does not lead to a significant reduction in SOC stocks.
- •
Fe- and Al-oxides appear to play a major role in the carbon stabilization processes.
