Forest management interventions affect the trade-offs of multiple vegetation and soil ecosystem services in walnut forests in the Taihang Mountains, China by Xin Li, Yanmei Chen, Qianyuan Liu, Yanan Liu

“…The original shrub-grassland showed lower trade-offs between maintenance of plant diversity and carbon sequestration, and between maintenance of plant diversity and soil nutrient maintenance, while these trade-offs increased after the conversion to walnut forests. (3) Redundancy analysis and Pearson correlation analysis revealed that aboveground biomass explained 63.9 % of the variation in ESs indicators in the walnut forests, and soil phosphorus storage was significantly correlated with the trade-offs between most paired ESs, indicating significant influences of vegetation and soil factors on ESs indicators and trade-offs. …”
