Vegetation restoration is one of the key processes affecting the dynamic change of soil organic carbon pool.To elucidate the soil organic carbon sequestration dynamics and its driving mechanism in the process of vegetation restoration is a hot and frontier issue in the study of carbon cycle under global change.This paper reviewed the published studies on the dynamics of soil organic carbon sequestrations in the process of vegetation restoration and its driving mechanism in recent years at home and abroad,analyzed the dynamic of soil organic carbon sequestration and its influencing factors in vegetation restoration,explored the influencing mechanism of plant carbon input on the dynamics change of soil organic carbon,and revealed the physical,chemical and microbial driving mechanisms of soil organic carbon sequestration in vegetation restoration.Furthermore,the review summarized the problems existing in the current research,and then the urgent research on soil organic carbon sequestration during the vegetation restoration process in the future was proposed to further strengthen the aspects of soil organic carbon component dynamics,microbial structure and function,and the synergistic mechanism of plant-soil-microorganism on soil organic carbon sequestration.This review can point out the future direction for the study of vegetation restoration and soil carbon sequestration stabilization mechanism,and then provide scientific reference for promoting soil carbon cycle of vegetation restoration,scientific evaluating the potential of soil carbon sequestration and effective implementing measures in ecosystem carbon sink management.
