Community leaf nutrient characteristics drive soil carbon stabilization by regulating soil nutrient and microbial community in a subtropical forest plantation Open
Tree species diversity has been found to promote soil organic carbon (SOC) in forests, but its effects on SOC stability have been poorly studied. Using a six-year-old forest biodiversity experiment with monocultures and mixtures of two, fo…

Meta‐analysis shows forest soil <span> CO <sub>2</sub> </span> effluxes are dependent on the disturbance regime and biome type Open
Forest soil CO 2 efflux (FCO 2 ) is a crucial process in global carbon cycling; however, how FCO 2 responds to disturbance regimes in different forest biomes is poorly understood. We quantified the effects of disturbance regimes on FCO 2 a…

Species mixtures increase fine root length to support greater stand productivity in a natural boreal forest Open
Species mixtures have been widely reported to increase aboveground productivity; however, how tree species mixtures affect root systems in natural forests remains unclear. We hypothesize that mixtures have a greater fine root length compar…
