In this study, the authors conducted an intensive field sampling investigation including 610 pairs of afforested and control plots in northern China and extensively compiled a global data set containing 211 afforested-control pairs worldwide to evaluate responses of soil N concentrations and C:N ratios to afforestation and further explored their major regulator.
