“…The highest relative abundance of Acidobacteria was identified in artificial forests at 31.2%, contrasting with the lowest in agricultural land at 14.6%. Although previous studies have suggested that Acidobacteria abundance is higher in nutrient-poor environments [25][26][27], the present findings align with Junjie Liu et al's observations in black soil, indicating a unique distribution pattern and a correlation with soil nutrient content [28]. It may also be related to the life habits of Acidobacteria, which are usually abundant in more acidic soils and are adapted to acidic environments.…”

Soil microbiota are significantly influenced by their microenvironments. Therefore, to understand the impacts of various land use patterns on the diversity and composition of soil bacterial communities, this study focused on three typical land use types—NF (natural forest), AF (artificial forests), and FL (farmland)—in the Heilongjiang Central Station Black-billed Capercaillie National Nature Reserve, located in the southwestern part of Heihe City, Heilongjiang Province, China. Using high-throughput sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene, we examined the soil bacterial community structures in these different land use types and explored their correlation with soil environmental factors. The following were our main observations: (1) Significant variations in soil chemical properties among different land use patterns were observed. In artificial forests, total nitrogen (TN), alkali hydrolyzed nitrogen (AN), total phosphorus (TP), and available phosphorus (AP) were higher compared to farmland and significantly higher than those in natural forests. Furthermore, the organic carbon content (SOC) in natural forests was higher than in artificial forests and significantly higher than in farmland. (2) Comparative analysis using the Shannon and Simpson indices revealed that bacterial community diversity was higher in artificial forests than in natural forests, which was significantly higher than in farmland. (3) The effect of different land use types on soil bacterial community structure was not significant. The three land types were dominated by Proteobacteria, Acidobacteria, and Actinobacteria. Proteobacteria exhibited a higher relative abundance in farmland and artificial forests compared to natural forests, whereas Actinobacteria exhibited the lowest relative abundance in natural forests. (4) Redundancy analysis (RDA) revealed that SOC, TN, AN, and AP were key environmental factors influencing the microbial communities of soil. Collectively, our findings demonstrated that land use practices can significantly alter soil nutrient levels, thereby influencing the structure of bacterial communities.

“…At the same time, we also searched relevant literature and found that the main species of broad-leaved hardwood with large carbon storage mainly included Castanopsis eyrei, C. carlesii, Engelhardtia fenzlii, Cyclobalanopsis myrsinifolia, and C. fordii, etc. [23].…”

“…Wuyi Mountain National Nature Reserve is situated in the central zone of WMNP, where forest vegetation has been strictly protected for an extended period, resulting in relatively old trees with limited human disturbances. The reserve's vegetation primarily consists of subtropical evergreen broad-leaved trees and conifers in the late succession period [23,24]. Therefore, these dominant forest vegetation types have become the principal components of forest carbon storage in Wuyi Mountain National Nature Reserve, and the combined influence of the dominant tree species and age groups drives the dynamic changes of forest carbon storage in WMNP [59].…”

“…Similarly, mature forests have a high carbon density and relatively stable carbon storage [14,21,22]. Since most forests in WMNP are relatively mature and the dominant tree species are mainly subtropical evergreen broadleaved trees and conifers [23,24], their carbon storage may play a dominant role in WMNP. Therefore, these superior conditions provide a natural experimental platform for research work on forest carbon sinks.…”

Evaluating the carbon storage of forests and identifying the factors that influence it are essential in working towards the “dual carbon” goal. This assessment will facilitate research on carbon neutrality and promote regional ecological protection and development. This study utilized the “One Map” data of forest resources (2020) and the first year (2017) of the establishment of the national park in Wuyi Mountain National Park (WMNP). The continuous biomass expansion factor method, in conjunction with the vegetation carbon content coefficient, was employed to estimate the forest carbon storage within the park’s forested areas. Subsequently, the distribution of forest carbon storage was analyzed using remote sensing estimation methods, and a comparison was made between the forest carbon storage of these two years. Finally, correlation analysis and path analysis were conducted to identify the primary factors influencing forest carbon storage. The study findings reveal that in 2020, the total carbon storage in forests reached 4.851 × 106 t C, with an average carbon density of 49.55 t C·hm−2. Furthermore, the study identified positive correlations between dominant tree species, age groups, and elevation with carbon storage, whereas slope length and aspect were found to have negative correlations. Dominant tree species were observed to have the greatest impact on forest carbon storage in both 2017 and 2020, followed by age groups. These findings offer valuable scientific insights for the implementation of forest carbon storage pilot projects in WMNP.

“…Wuyishan National Park, with forest cover over 93%, is a key area for global biodiversity protection [ 49 ]. It covers all vegetation types of subtropical regions and developed the best vertical band spectrum in southeast China [ 50 ]. The region is a representative and relatively well-preserved and complete subtropical broadleaf evergreen forest in the subtropical region of China.…”

Landscape context can reflect the habitat structure and play an important role in bird species occurrences and abundance. For local biodiversity conservation and restoration, we examined the effects of landscape context on bird communities at different altitude gradients. Our study was conducted in four altitude gradients (<300 m, 300–599 m, 600–899 m, 900–1200 m) of subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest in Wuyishan National Park, China. The bird survey was carried out in 115 transects in spring, summer, autumn and winter. We examined the effects of altitude, season and landscape context. The result showed that (1) species richness and abundance at <300 m altitude were highest among the four altitude gradients, and they showed more significant differences than those at other altitude gradients; (2) the species richness of birds was associated with altitude, season and landscape context, as the season is more significant than other explanatory variables; (3) at the landscape level, habitat configuration is more important. The average canopy height and contagion index positively correlated with the species richness and abundance of birds at all four altitude gradients. In particular, the average canopy height is significant at 300–599 m and 600–899 m altitude gradients. The study results can provide a theoretical basis and guidance for future national park conservation and management and ecological restoration in the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest regions.
