Depth-stratified soil organic carbon dynamics across forest–cultivation gradients in Nkanu East Watershed, Southeast Nigeria: implications for agroecological management
Forest-to-cultivation conversion in tropical watersheds drives soil degradation through altered carbon dynamics and physical compaction, yet depth-stratified assessments that account for subsoil contributions remain scarce. This study quantified horizon-level changes in soil organic carbon (SOC), bulk densit...
