The influence of C<sub>3</sub> and C<sub>4</sub> vegetation on soil organic matter dynamics in contrasting semi-natural tropical ecosystems

Variations in the carbon isotopic composition of soil organic matter (SOM) in bulk and fractionated samples were used to assess the influence of C<sub>3</sub> and C<sub>4</sub> vegetation on SOM dynamics in semi-natural tropical ecosystems sampled along a precipitation gradie...
