Type of ecosystem Soil properties References Deciduous and coniferous forests Increased or decreased C/N [42 ] Poplar cultivation No effect on Cox ,
and bulk density, increased humification, increased or reduced export of DOC, increased leaching of refractory C [35 ] Rice-wheat rotation Decreased available N by up to 50% and available P by 30% [50 ] Oak ecosystem No effect on total organic carbon (TOC), 30% reduced slow-degradable C, 41% increased CMIC , no effect on pH [50 ] C4 plant communities Decreased N mineralization [36 ] Agrostis capillaris Increased Cox and decreased C/N [30 ] Lathyrus pratensis Decreased Cox and increased C/N, decreased soil bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi [30 ] Plantago lanceolata Increased net N mineralization [31 ] Different ecosystems Decrease in relative abundance of Acidobacteria Group 1 bacteria, increased fluxes of CO2 , NH3 , N2 O, and CH4 with induction of CH4 oxidation [39 ] Pine ecosystem No effect on soil properties [39 ] Sweetgum plantation Increased Cox , no effect on soil microbial community, enzymatic activity, potential N mineralization and nitrification [33 ] Seminatural grasslands Increased Cox and
[51 ] Cotton plantation Increased Cox only under wet moisture regime, no effect on
[52 ] Deserts Increased Cox and
under some types of coverage, low effect on soil pH and bulk density, no effect on arbuscular mycorrhizas; no effect on fluxes of CO2 , NH3 , N2 O, and CH4 [53 ]
