Abstract
Plants can be classified as either resource-acquisitive or resource-conservative strategies based on their root traits. Compared with conservative trees, acquisitive trees produce larger amounts of readily decomposable carbon, owing to their high specific root length and low root C:N ratio, which could reduce the content and stability of soil organic carbon (SOC). In this study, we assessed the content of labile particulate organic carbon (POC)...
