“…Land-use changes alter chemical, physical, and biological properties of the soil, modifying the GHG fluxes (Kim and Kirschbaum, 2015). In addition, forest type (Masaka et al, 2014) and soil management practices play an important role (Kim et al, 2016), as well as water-filled pore space (Santos et al, 2016;Smith, 2017), soil O 2 contents, pH, plants, and N input (Hickman et al, 2015;Carvalho et al, 2017). Moreover, long-term N inputs may favor soil C stocks, mainly in litter with a high lignin content (Grandy and Neff, 2008).…”
