- Title
SPECIES, ROTATION, AND LIFE-FORM DIVERSITY EFFECTS ON SOIL CARBON IN EXPERIMENTAL TROPICAL ECOSYSTEMS.

- Abstract
The article explores the effects of species identity and rotation frequency in experimental plantations on soil carbon dynamics containing native tree species Hyeronima alchoreoides, Cedrela odorata, and Cordia alliodora. The differences were determined in light particulate organic matter (LPOM), a biologically active, sand-size soil fraction that constituted total soil organic carbon (TSOC). The mechanisms involving root chemistry best explained the effects of species on soil C sequestration.
