Soil organic carbon storage and dynamics after C3-C4and C4-C3vegetation changes in sub-Andean landscapes of Colombia

The soil C capture capacity and organic matter turnover rate vary according to photosynthetic pathways; therefore the evaluation of C at sites suffering changes from C3 to C4 vegetation and vice versa, is important to identify impacts of land use change on C cycle. This study aims to evaluate C stor...
