Recycled aggregates have been integrated into various unbound and bound materials within the construction sector. For instance, they can function as base/sub-base course materials for road pavements (Ding et al., 2023; Lu et al., 2023) or as backfill in retaining walls (Muktinutalapati and GuhaRay, 2021).There is also a potential application of recycled …

The stability of soil organic carbon (SOC) affects long-term carbon storage in forest ecosystems. However, the knowledge about SOC stability and carbon mineralization in subtropical ecosystems, particularly in the Dinghushan region, Guangdong, China, still needs to be explored. Therefore, the experiment was conducted in three distinct forest types (coniferous …
