Spatial distribution patterns of soil total phosphorus influenced by climatic factors in China’s forest ecosystems

Abstract Phosphorus (P) is an important element in terrestrial ecosystems and plays a critical role in soil quality and ecosystem productivity. Soil total P distributions have undergone large spatial changes as a result of centuries of climate change. It is necessary to study the characteristics of...
