Temporal soil nitrogen dynamics with stand age of Betula platyphylla forests in the permafrost region of Northeast China

Nitrogen (N) is a key nutrient regulating plant growth, forest productivity and ecosystem functioning in permafrost regions. Despite the critical role of succession in modifying soil N processes, how soil N dynamics respond to mid-successional Betula platyphylla forest development remains poorly understood. This...
