Abstract:Plantation reclamation can improve soil microbial diversity and soil multifunctionality in the reclaimed coal mine. However, with the reclamation years, how restoration of microbial communities promotes restoration of soil multifunctionality is not clear. Here, we investigated the microbial diversity and soil physicochemical properties and soil enzyme activities of different reclamation years in the reclaimed coal mine afforested with Chinese pine (Pinus tabuliformis). We chose six soil physicochemical propert… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
