Short summary
With a large-scale survey and sampling, results from this study provides strong evidence that increasing aridity would reduce the soil C and N storage in arid and semi-arid ecosystems due both to the changes of particle-sized fractions in soils (i.e. relatively more sand but less clay and silt in sites with higher aridity) and to the decline of C and N concentrations in each soil fraction.
With a large-scale survey and sampling, results from this study provides strong evidence that...
