Abstract:Maintaining soil biological diversity is an effective approach in facilitating Chinese fir plantations' sustainable development. However, dynamic characteristics of soil microbial and nematode communities during Chinese fir planting remain unclear, particularly on the aggregate scales, which are the main sites of soil biological activity. Therefore, the research aims to explore how stand age (3, 9, 17, and 26 years) of Chinese fir plantations affects soil microbial biomass (including bacteria, fungi, and actin… Show more
