Temporal and spatial variations of soil C, N contents and C:N stoichiometry in the major grain-producing region of the North China Plain.

Soil C, N contents and C:N stoichiometry are important indicators of soil quality, the variation characteristics of which have great significance for soil carbon-nitrogen cycle and sustainable utilization. Based on 597 observations along with soil profiles of 0-20cm depth in the 1980s and the 2010s,...
