Paper Summary

Afforestation in China's Loess Plateau affects soil carbon and structure. P. tabuliformis trees increase soil organic matter and stability, while R. pseudoacacia trees sequester more carbon. Subsoil stores more inorganic carbon, making it a key carbon sink. Larger water stable aggregates have more organic matter and less calcium carbonate.
