This study estimates carbon stocks of understory components (herbaceous plants, understory woody species, litter, and fine roots) in semi-deciduous forests of eastern Cameroon. The total understory carbon stock is 11.92 ± 2.15 tC/ha, with f…

Zhihao Zhang (1605406), Guotai Zhang, Yu Xin (412564) +2

This paper develops a laser absorption spectroscopy method for measuring stable carbon isotopes of dissolved organic carbon in seawater, overcoming the limitations of traditional isotope ratio mass spectrometry. The device achieves high sen…
