Fig. 3. Re-establishment of complex soil organic matter relationship with increasing restoration age following disturbance in an establishing biodiverse forest. Linear
correlations of the ı13carbon and log-transformed carbon concentrations in the whole soil for increasing age since restoration (2, 5, 8, 11, and 18 years) compared to
benchmarked native forest site (grey panel) at the four sampling depths.
