2010-10-26New Research Progress in the Ecological Function of N-fixing Species in Forest RestorationThe role of different tree species of plantations on soil nutrient cycling is of great importance for restoration of degraded lands. In southern China,both N-fixing and non-N-fixing tree species were widely used in forest restoration To evaluate the potential of N-fixing and non-N-fixing tree species to recuperate degraded land,Dr. N-fixing Acac...

2010-10-22New Research Progress in Soil N Cycling in Restoration EcologyCrassicarpa monoculture did not have higher soil N availability in comparison with non-leguminous species. Soil moisture seemed to be important in controlling these temporal variations. This study highlights thatCrassicarpa monoculture did not have higher soil N availability in comparison with non-leguminous species. Soil moisture seemed to be i... Nitrogen cycling is a critical component in plantations, yet the spatial and temporal variations of N transformations in different stages of afforestation are poorly known so far.Read More
