Vertically distinct patterns of soil carbon and nitrogen stock depletion associated with Moso bamboo encroachment into subtropical forests
Moso bamboo ( Phyllostachys edulis ) expansion is strongly associated with soil degradation in subtropical forests, but the underlying abiotic and biotic factors regulating soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (TN) stocks across different stands remain unclear. Here, we investigated depth-dependent (0–40 cm...
