Call for Papers Special Issue on “Responses of soil carbon and nutrient cycling to global changes and human disturbances in forest ecosystems”
This special issue seeks to bring together cutting-edge research that advances our understanding of the responses of soil C and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems to global changes and human disturbances. By synthesizing recent advances and identifying key research priorities, this special issue will contribute to enhancing our ability to predict and manage the impacts of environmental changes on forest biogeochemistry and ecosystem functioning.
