Effects of shrub encroachment on soil aggregates and organic carbon vary in different grasslands in Inner Mongolia, China

Abstract Widespread shrub encroachment in grasslands can lead to changes in soil aggregates and soil organic carbon (SOC), especially in deep soils. Soil aggregates physicochemically protect SOC and thus affect soil carbon sequestration. Characterizing the changes in soil aggregates and their organi...
