Effects of litter and root manipulations on soil carbon and nitrogen in a Schrenk's spruce (Picea schrenkiana) forest.

Plant detritus represents the major source of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen (N), and changes in its quantity can influence below-ground biogeochemical processes in forests. However, we lack a mechanistic understanding of how above- and belowground detrital inputs affect soil C and N in mountain fores...
