Soil organic carbon partitioning in Himalayan coniferous forests: Influence of biotic and abiotic factors

Key Points

• Soil organic carbon partitioning varies significantly across different biotic factors in forest ecosystems.
• Key evidence indicates that both biotic and abiotic factors impact carbon cycling, affecting soil health and fertility.
• Assessment using observational analysis emphasizes the role of environmental conditions in determining carbon storage.
• Understanding these influences may enable better management strategies for forest ecosystems facing climate change.
