Abstract:Under the background of global nitrogen deposition, temperate forest ecosystems are suffering increasing threats, and species diversity is gradually decreasing. In this study, nitrogen addition experiments were conducted on Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) plantations in Northeast China to explore the effect of long‐term nitrogen addition on herb species diversity to test the following hypothesis: long‐term nitrogen addition further reduced plant species diversity by affecting plant growth, which may be due to s… Show more
